Blimey, that's a bit esoteric, isn't it?!??!



I've never heard of that Guillaume!

Yes - Dufay is on the card.

Clean sweep

Terrrific performance, I think

Feel like a Haitch?

Nicely done, scb - I'm looking forward to the explanation, I have no idea of the connections between Harawi and the elements of the question, esp Tristan!

Sorry about the computer. Mine was on a go slow at the weekend. I had to back everything up to an external hard drive, erase the computer hard drive totally, and reinstall all the programmes then do all the updates. It all took about 8 hours. But it's now good as new.

Apart from the ailing computer, are you feeling better today?

It is all in Wikipedia:

Harawi is the first part of Messiaen's "Tristan Trilogy". It includes movements with titles "Montagnes" and "Syllabes".
