      An S to connect Arnold, Stephen & South.

      EDIT: corrected spelling of "Stephen".

        Not continuing the 'rondo' theme, are you, by referring to my 'Arnold' of less than 24 hours ago?
        "...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..."

            Have to go off-line for about an hour.
            Three composers involved, one of them a student of Milton Babbitt.

              Serialism and synthesiser are my guesses.

                Neither.

                You should be able to do this on your own - if not, a little priest might help you

                    Before you go, mercs, give us the title (and composer) of said Musical.

                        as long as I don't have to set a question

                        Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber etc. - Sondheim [I did wonder earlier if sond-heim was Scandinavian for south something]

                        anyway I really am going now

                          That's the "Stephen" element; any takers for the other two?

                            Again I'd thought of Sondheim but the spelling of his first name was wrong, Harry South - did he write the Theme for the Sweeney which makes me think there must be an Arnold who wrote someting about the demon butcher.

                            Malcolm Arnold Sweeney Todd Suite!

                              Thanks all the same, but I should be able to cope unaided.

                                Yep;you just can't get the staff these days!

                                Harry South - did he write the Theme for the Sweeney
                                He did indeed:

                                The original theme tune used at the start of the show was 40 seconds long and was written by Harry South.CLOSING MUSIC The tune used at the end of the show w...


                                Malcolm Arnold Sweeney Todd Suite!
                                From an entire ballet!

                                So, coleslaw:

                                Sweeney;
                                S Todds by Stefan Sondheim (pupil of Babbitt) and Malcolm Arnold
                                The Sweeney theme tune by Harry South.

                                cloughie not only gets the T, he saves my having to inflict a "Thaw" pun on everyone.

                                Meantime it's way past my bedtime, so g'night, all!
