Solomon had a supernatural violinist among his servants. What's the common W?"...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..."

It all hinges on British composers

I've a couple of his Ravel CDs, also very qood - they were very cheap , I think from Works or similar!Originally posted by Anna View Post

William Walton, Song of Soloman and probably something connecting to RV Williams? Or not. William Mathias probably doesn't figure at all!! In fact, it's not Ower Willy and I'm off to bed.Originally posted by Caliban View PostAnyone fancy a clue before Tale of Two Cities on BBC4?

Now. Anna has got the solution and one of the elements.Originally posted by Anna View Post
It is Yower Willy - William Mathias is one of the three. But which?
William Walton is not on the card. The "Solomon" composer is much longer ago.
But: yes, the W is William

I was working through William as an idea, then Mrs F pointed out the dirty dishes. Bloomin demarcation: "I did the cooking..."
She doesn't understand important things like AA.
Edward Solomon's last stage work was "On the March" (1896), a musical comedy in two acts, to a libretto by William Yardley et al. Mr Yardley was primarily a cricketer, but also an actor, playwright and drama critic (no demarcation disputes in those days!)Pacta sunt servanda !!!Comment

I suggest William Alwyn the Fairy Fiddler and William Baines Marionettes for violin and pianoComment
