I don't think so.
Nor Handel, Lasagne (beef casserole tonight!) or any '80s groups.
Rule Britannia might help ...

I am just, so, so, absolutely going to regret this, I really know. And will appear foolish.
But, does Dido come into it?
Notwithstanding yea nor nay, I have to go in a mo (as referenced above, real time cookery!)

As in "Orpheus Britannicus"? Not foolish at all. But not right, either!

Thank The Good Lord for That! I can now depart ..... I am so pleased!

Shame, I had found a link with Beckett's Nacht und Träume which originated from Beckett’s fascination with Albrecht Dürer’s etching of praying hands.

Then via Dürer's engraving "Melencolia I" http://www.citizenarcane.com/index.p...-melancolia-1/
Melencolia is an anagram of limen caelo = gateway of heaven.

I was getting somewhere.... but nowhere

No; not "nowhere" (I didn't know the Durer connection !!!) - find a composer often associated with Beckett's work who's written a Nacht und Träume and you're practically there!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Hmm; Wiki is useless here. Stick with Rule Britannia: it'll give you a good start.

Presumably Schubert (is there another?) - but as you say, Wiki got me nowhere.

Anyway, does Limen refer to the ballet?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Presumably Schubert

No.

(is there another?)

Yes.

does Limen refer to the ballet?

No; but some petals by the composer of the ballet is a connection (but sadly not one that Wiki will help you with). I really would start with Rule Britannia!

So my afternoon has been wasted...?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Well, you've got closer than anyone else!

Feldman?

I don't think so.

James Thompson & Thomas Arne?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Feldman?

Warmer; but do try Rule Britannia.
