      Dohnanyi (Ernst von, later Erno): Variations on a Nursery Theme, the theme being Ah vous dirai-je maman if you're French or Baa baa black sheep if you're English. Anyone know what words our Ernst would have sung? I'm guessing the French.

          ag: there was I thinking that your #29204 was directly triggered by my helpful #29203, and hence my reference to Erno in #29205. Extra congratulations for tackling the full North Face, not the easy route!

              Churchdown Hill, Gloucestershire was home to Gerald Finzi (and Ivor Gurney?? - he is certainly closely associated with it). Finzi wrote an Interlude for Oboe and String Quartet. I knew those.

              And egad, Finzi studied with Bairstow! The magic of Google!

                Indeed very well done - I hadn't realised that In Terra Pax was heavily influenced by Finzi's memories of bell ringing on Churchdown Hill.

                  Wish I had been able to participate more in the day's Associating... I've just taken delivery of a consignment of French persons who are staying for a week, my visits may be reduced as a result...

                  But I just wanted to say how good it is that LeMartinP is here and going great guns!

                  Bed time I think...
                  "...the isle is full of noises,
                  Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                  Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                  Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                      I always thought the tune that Ernie borrowed was 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'. I don't think Katchen in either of his versions has been bettered in the work.

                          Back to Katchen and his recordings of concerti whic many were conducted by Pier(in)o Gamba!

                            Is the right answer - if not necessarily by the right route!

                                Not sure about Organ loft!

                                The first five notes of the two nursery rhymes are the same and I have seen Baa baa black sheep quoted before !
