Sensemayá - a poem by the Cuban poet Nicolás Guillén, adapted as an orchestral work by the Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas.

Guillén's poem evokes a ritual Afro-Caribbean chant performed while killing a snake

Well done, Flay!

The Revueltas is a great piece, hooge orcherstra and they did it at the Proms a few years back. Nice recording on Naxos

I have already posted my T. I assumed your consent, ammy. I hope that's OK?

Heard the Simon Bolivar youngsters play it with Dudamel in the RFH a couple of years back, terrific - sort of like Latino Rite of Spring...

Yep, too easy. Term, not a plumbing instrument 8o).

I've left enough clues in what I have written this morning. Calibs ought to get it... I am saying no more

[Flay]

Oh dear, have I stopped it dead? Total silence.

[mercia]

A common percussion term, and once much more generally used, and a modern ensemble

is it to do with a particular percussion instrument? is it to do with percussion playing technique? is it the name of an instrument? is the ensemble a percussion-only ensemble?

[mercia]

Total silence.

a clue? tacet? tacit? whatever the word is

<doh> I think there is a TACET Ensemble

Yes indeed And ammy's tacet consent for me starting my clues.

So what would the third be?

Tritsch-Tratsch

I know, a poor clue. It was set in a hurry in the early hours, I was still in the bathroom sneaking it on using the ipad. Mrs Flay was knocking "what are you up to in there, why are you taking so long?" etc. etc. She doesn't approve of the FoR3 MB, thinks it's a distraction and waste of time. As if...

So what would the third be?

in a musical context ? or more generally? like qui tacet consentire videtur - he who is silent is taken to agree.

a tacit agreement - can it be spelt either way ? is the term tacet only used in percussion music ?

No I should have written tacit for the verbal silence, my error. Musically it is tacet but the derivation is the same.

in a musical context ?

Some would say so, many not. It is a single piece, the subject of scorn and mirth
