[Don Petter]

Seems fair, or Don Petter was just lately so near yet so far? He hasn't set one for absolutely ages. See what happens in a hour or so, no rush is there. Enjoy the sunshine ...... soak up the rays

Did someone call? (Sits slowly up in coffin).

If there's no garlic around I'll have a think, but I've not been near solving a real answer for ages. I just keep an eye on things and occasionally pitch in obliquely for a bit of devilment. What letter are we on, and what day is it?

[Don Petter]

Ah! Relieved by ferney - that's good (but I'll be watching ...)

[Don Petter]

Follow the pipes and drums out of doors on this beautiful night into the woods: it's agony! What the B am I on about?

The Braemar Floodlit Lawn Bowls Society might be considered to cause aural agony to many a sassenach (but not to me, who loves the sound).

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

- Ah! Would that it were, Don; would that it were!



... but it weren't.

Great Robert Robinson impression, ferns!

Glad the other half is restored, and you to us!

Absolute B of a B though...!

I think you may be blathering about B-B-B-Bartók....

One of the movements of the "Out of Doors" suite is 'With Drums and Pipes"

Working on the rest...

No.

Yes; now what "follows" that movement?

[Nick Armstrong]

No.

B-B-B-Barcarolla!!

The beautiful night / woods thing makes me think of Verklärte Nacht but that's got nothing to do with Barcaroles, I think....

Ah...

there's a Barcarole called "Agony" in Sondheim's "Into the Woods"!!

And...

I didn't know that the Barcarole from "Tales of Hoffman" was called "Beautiful Night"(Belle nuit, ô nuit d'amour)

A full house Cali

C you later!

[Nick Armstrong]

C you later!

Nightwatchman again...

A C to link a minstrel's performance and a Jewish prayer with King Solomon.

[mercia]

anything to do with film music/Kol Nidre/Handel's treatment of Solomon/Caterina Galli/the Song of Songs/a racehorse called Minstrel ?

how about cantique? as in Pour le cantique de Solomon by Honegger

chanson? oh dear I'm guessing wildly

Blimey! I feel like a pheasant that's just had a peppering from a 12-bore .... !

You winged me with this one:

Kol Nidre

The rest, no...

[mercia]

<doh> cello

Bruch's Kol
Ernest Bloch's Schelomo

still working on a minstrel

?? a cello arrangement of Debussy's Minstrels? - no I don't think so

Cali - it has struck me that Kol Nidrei by Bruch has a Cello solo. The other two link to tunes by Glazunov and Bloch. Am I being presumptious in considering a D. But it was merc who led me there. I was Clueless before.

merc I cross threaded - Do your next!
