Alphabet associations - I

[Nick Armstrong]

No, it's not an anagram. It's one either you know or you don't, googling won't really help. It's one Simon might get, if he's still around.

I'm surprised young Caliban hasn't got it as I know he knows it, even if he doesn't know he knows it.

I will wait a bit before posting any help.

Oh crikey.

Better have a think...

Would it be Rubbra and his 5th symphony described by one critic as 'a stuffed carcass of a symphony' ?

Apropos a question from a few back, I was bemused to see that Bourton-on-the-Water is listed as the Venice of the Cotswolds because it is on a river !

Interesting as that sounds I'm afraid it's not my cousin, Rubbranecker.

It's not a person or a piece of music. It is musical, though.

What R takes in the remainder of the stuffing mix?

Rissoles!

['It's true', as Benny Hill would have said.]

[rubbernecker]

Rissoles!

I can well imagine Riccardo Muti whipping up the Vienna Phil with such an exhortation

But no...

Bloody hell, I can't get anywhere near what you're on about here rubbers...

I now can't get out of my mind a product-placement version of Finzi's seasonal (and seasoned) cantata:

In Terra Paxo

Now think what Maestro Locatelli would call it?

[Norfolk Born]

It's one either you know or you don't.

Your'e right, and I don't! Still, there's always 'S' to look forward to.
Meanwhile...Maria looks set to wrest the title of Silliest Cow On The Street from Eileen. The area behind her lugholes must be absolutely drenched.

[Nick Armstrong]

Ahhhhhhhhh.... like pomodori ripieni = stuffed tomatoes.... And 'ripieno' in music is when the instruments or chorus come in 'tutti' to fill out the texture after solo sections...

So...

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrripieno???

Which one's Maria??

Eileen's understanding treatment from the cops was a relief (I've only seen as far as last Friday's ep...)

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrigt!

Ripieno is the term used to describe the remainder of the orchestra in a concerto or concertante work, ie. what’s left after taking away the soloists or the concertante group.

Ripieno literally means ‘the stuffing’ in Italian, therefore the musical ballast required to give a full sound.

The Ripieno stop featured on Italian-built organs provides an instant mix of full sound.

Guess you get the S, Caliban!

[Nick Armstrong]

I wasn't sure whether you meant Pietro Locatelli the 18th C composer or Giorgio Locatelli the London restauranteur but anyway I assumed the latter which helped me there...

OK here's a quick "S" before I cycle home.

Even though it's early, let's try a different sherry to prepare ourselves for the later musical conjunction.

Sammartini?

am= early
martini= different sherry
Giuseppe and Giovanni Sammartini were brothers, therefore formed a conjunction of sorts

Wow rubbers - yet again, you rob me of words with your ingenious brain-work.

But no.
