    if I can then I think this is Pergolesi

    Stravinsky's Pulcinella based on works probably not by Pergolesi
    Lo frate 'nnamorato, The Monk in Love, opera 1732
    You can, you can...



    Hattrick, mercs!

    How's your SB? (Take your time, there don't seem to be many around today. Ammy's gorn orff to the cinema I know... and I shall be watching t'FA Cup Final shortly...)

    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      Well done mercs, you were so quick! I was busy and hadn't even read the question! I think Caliban's right, only us three around I think this afternoon and, of course there is the FA cup on ....... and later on The Bridge ...... (looking forward to that immensely)

          Q has been Quasi, Quilter, Queen or Quincy so often, I don't blame you!! Is there a reason why we have so few Q words, have they morphed into K words over the centuries (I'm sure vints will know, him being the resident etymologist) Sorry, ignore me, just talking to myself again! But mercs are you still archiving stuff?

                Mercs, I was only asking if you were, not requesting you to publish it (to be honest, I have difficulty in remembering what the last A, B or C was!) Some stick in the memory, like the Harold that rubbers pulled me up on and some really daft ones (I'll not name names!) and I'm sure we've had Orlando a million times before! But it's only a bit of fun, just think, if we didn't do this ......... we'd all have be on the AA 7 steps programme!

                          EDIT: Strictly the First one in 1956, but it's been done by "tribute bands" since!

                              what was my Guildford theatre bit about ?

                              EDIT - I'll tell you, the original soloist in the Concerto was Yvonne Arnaud (according to wiki)
