can I translate Stabat Mater as maternal pedestrian ?

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...)

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?

however, despite people's advice about word I have it on google documents and when I copy and paste on here it goes a bit haywire

R to connect

a 1950's maternal horror film
a concerto mix-up linked to an eponymous Guildford theatre

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!

Franz Reizenstein;

Composed the film score to the 1959 Hammer production, The Mummy;
Wrote the Concerto Popolare (in which the soloist plays the Greig whilst the Orchestra plays "the" Tchaikovsky Pno Concs) for the Hoffnung Festivals*;
And a Piano Quintet highly praised by Gramophone's Lionel Salter ("with Shostakovich's, the finest work in this medium this Century". - No, I haven't either!)

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

12 steps? Not 7 steps? No wonder I never passed the final exam!
