So a quickie: please find a single D from: Tranquility: seven for the baby, seven for a marital concept, oh joy!

Perplexing stuff, Flay....

First thought: something to do with Strauss's Sinfonia D-D-D-D-Domestica? There's a baby in there, marital 'issues', some calm & joyful stuff...

That was orff the top of me 'ead... There is more connection when one looks at the programme: the figure 7 is also significant...

I. Introduction and development of the chief groups of themes
The husband's themes: (a) Easy-going; (b) Dreamy; (c) Fiery
The wife's themes: (a) Lively and gay; (b) Grazioso
The child's theme: Tranquil

II. Scherzo
Parents' happiness. Childish play. Cradle song (the clock strikes seven in the evening).

III. Adagio
Doing and thinking. Love scene. Dreams and cares (the clock strikes seven in the morning).

IV. Finale
Awakening and merry dispute (double fugue). Joyous confusion.

Oh, BRAVO, Cali! I was miles away (persuing the Prokofiev false trail that Flay no doubt intended ). If this isn't the answer, it should be!

Excellent stuff, Calibs First thoughts are often the best!

The "marital concept(ion)" referred to his section subtitled "making baby." Apparently many of his initial descriptions were dropped as being to "shocking" for the contemporary concert goers...

Would you care to Eagerly and swiftly move on with an E?

(Perhaps Kleines c would like to join us on AA )

Don't feed the t****!!

Thanks F and Fhg (what was the Prokofiev connection? Can only think of 3 Oranges, that's 4 short).

An E, you say? Oh very well then...

They smashed up a prison, singing as the sun rose...

Wiki says of it: <<The poem that the work was composed to is a Russian translation of a cuneiform in a Mesopotamian temple from the third millennium BC. It describes seven demonic gods who have power over the elements, and also describes the power of these gods. There is an English translation of this poem included in the 1982 poetry anthology "The Rattle Bag," edited by Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney [Faber, 1982].

I haven't heard Sir Simon called that before!

I fell for that one hook, line and stinker
