Alphabet associations - I

[Nick Armstrong]

Gosh, I'm de bussy man just now, I wish I could join in. But with all these social services reports and case conferences about that Walse family....

I'm just off the phone with Leeds Social Services, you'll be hearing further very shortly. Criminal ineptitude are ugly words, but in this instance, the only appropriate ones.



I have to rush out to obtain an emergency court order from Mrs Justice Erda, but off the top of me 'ead, Goodfellow = Robin = Puck = CDs "La Danse de Puck" in the Préludes Vol. 1, I think.

Which 'D' based pieces on a Goodfellow, the creation of a comic juggler and a visitor to The Great White Horse?

Oh booger. Oh well <sigh>

Debussy preludes: -

La danse de Puck (also known as Robin Goodfellow) in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream

Hommage a S. Pickwick Esq - Debussy was inspired by Dickens who had travelled to Ipswich in 1835 to report on the General Election, and stayed at the Great White Horse, immortalizing the tavern and his experiences there in ‘The Pickwick Papers’.

General Lavine - eccentric is a music-hall juggler sketch. It is based on the person of Edward Lavine, one of the most celebrated figures in international vaudeville of the time, billed as "Ed Lavine, the Man Who Has Soldiered All His Life". He presented his act at the Marigny Theatre in Paris twice, in 1910 and 1912 and later went on to work producing Army "service bars" in his desert town of Twenty-nine Palms, in California, where he passed away in 1946. Debussy was approached to compose music for a revue based on the puppet modelled upon the character, but the project was never finalised. It appears that Lavine was the only human being of whom Debussy composed a musical portrait.

Is that enough coleslaw then?

Blimey, here we go again...

An E please:

The odd man out scored; a collaborative variation; and the Avon won't be this in the next few days...

[Northender]

Yes indeed, Flay, Debussy was the nom juste - and I'm obliged to Caliban for the news of the shocking goings-on in Leeds. (As you may have guessed, I'm not into Wagner. )

and the Avon won't be this in the next few days...

well I suppose it won't be dry/slow/low

whatever the opposite of in spate is

The odd man out scored

?
... the film starring (Huddersfield-born) James Mason with Music by William Alwyn, conducted (? and scored?) by Muir Mattheson?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

whatever the opposite of in spate is

"ETAPS" ("spate" backwards) is a computer programme developed by Alwyn Williams ("William Alwyn" "backwards")!

(Which is probably more coincidental than useful. )

WOW!! Liking your coincidentals, ferney

William Alwyn. Something he wrote perchance?

Gently does it now...

[mercia]

well apparently there are some collaborative variations on an Elizabethan theme

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

well apparently there are some collaborative variations on an Elizabethan theme

And Alwyn wrote a set of Elizabethan Dances, so a theme is emerging!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

... but how the Avon won't be "Elizabethan" in the next few days has me stumped!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

<DOH>!
