    The word Zodiac is going through my mind... Can't pin it down though...
    "...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..."

              Oh Capricorn, yes - part of the zodiac! - there's a Capricorn Suite by Barber isn't there...

              Just emailed my mate to see if it ever happened!!

                Ah! And Britten composed the Gemini Variations (for a pair of identical twins).

                            A good one, but not what it says on the card. A type of insect... music, not heavy metal, the quiet one in the band before he went solo...

                            And I still need to know about the paino in the Capricorn house please. (Nothing to do with the Zodiac, just for general interest).

                              Well, I guess Scorpio which means? The Scorpions? (not the hard rock Germans, the English one)
