Alphabet associations - I

[Nick Armstrong]

I'm glad we've finally stapled that one (in a roundabout sort of way)

I feel the 'stapled' has some mystic - nay, cryptic - significance but it eludes me...

Good left-field shout with the QEII Bridge by the way

Mercia, are you prepared to soil your keyboard with the name of the Frenchman. For, indeed, he is the D I was after. And you've got yourself a nice Sunday lunchtime E

indeed, I've lost track of the original question - do you need further information than Alexandre Desplat ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Desplat

I'm sure he's a wonderful composer, certainly won enough prizes

I think other people did all the work
but an E may be forthcoming shortly ..............

E connecting

Hulme John's opus 10, a lost ode of 1736 and a 1923 French orchestral work

all rather obscure

'Stapled' is an anagram of 'Desplat', hence 'roundabout'.
(Sorry!)

Re. E - Epithalamium?
Compositions by John Foulds (born in Hulme), Rev. William Thompson and Clarence Lucas.

Epithalamium

John Fould's piece (he was born in Hulme)

Thomas Arne's 1736 "A Grand Epithalamium"

Just hunting the French piece....



EDIT: stapled to the floor by Northender's fast and cryptic finger!!!!

But who are those Thompson and Lucas blokes?

[mercia]

Rev. William Thompson and Clarence Lucas.

not on the card but very interesting, I probably ought to know who they are

Epi correct

[Northender]

My answer lacks a French element, does it not?

[mercia]

Epithalamium

John Fould's piece (he was born in Hulme)

Thomas Arne's 1736 "A Grand Epithalamium"

the French one would be spelt differently, wouldn't it

[Northender]

Catullus reputedly wrote an epithalamium based on a lost ode of Sappho.

Well quite so, and I've found Épithalames by Massenet and Fauré from the late 19th century and one by Jolivet in the 50s... Nothing from 1923 so far.

Northender - any joy?
