Felix Vieuille, Bass. Sang in the premieres of Debussy's Pelleas et Melisande (as Arkel), Dukas' Ariane et Barbe-bleu (as Bluebeard - the part of Ariane being too high for his range) and Milhaud's Le Pauvre Martelot (as "the Father-in-Law") - a work of which I'd not hitherto heard.

the part of Ariane being too high for his range

ah - I didn't read that bit
wiki says Mr Vieuille "created" all those and several other roles. I guess that simply means he happened to sing them at the premieres rather than that they were specifically written for him (?).

anyway - correct in all particulars - well done

we're well on the way to the end of the alphabet

Sorry; I made it up.

Thank you.

One of Paul's early Art songs; a piece of Light music; Allegri (Lent to Mozart). Which W?

[mercia]

Sorry; I made it up.

<doh> of course you did - I wasn't thinking

[Anna]

Sorry; I made it up.

I think any unsuspecting punter, happening upon this thread, would wonder if they had entered a parallel universe .... Sorry ferney, will look at your obscure W in a mo
Edit: Fallen at first hurdle, I know Mozart pinched Allegri but when it comes to Art Songs, Lieder, well I just do not know anything, let alone who Paul is.

[Nick Armstrong]

Sorry; I made it up.

Why?

Allegri (Lent to Mozart).

Simply cannot get a W out of this well known story... You are in cryptic mode this weekend, Mr fhg !!

The Mozart/Allegri story is the "weak link" that gets you to the answer, Cali: when was the work performed?

Wednesday?

[Anna]

when was the work performed?

Oh, I dunno, in Holy Week probably?
How was your curry and Cobra Cali?

Wednesday Morning 3am
Stockhausen Wednesday in light

Can't linger the garden calls via Mrs C, so if I'm right then I pass on the X, Y, Z or A to someone without a garden!

Wednesday?

Oh!

Any takers? Or shall we wait until cloughie's finished weeding?
