    Poles by Steve Reich

    oh dear, that all fits, but it's not what's on that famous card

    Pulses but not Steve's

    Poles but separated .............. like a married couple

    a posh word for twilight

    S is a surname



    [nice colour scheme, by the way]

            The only posh words I can think of for twilight are crepuscular and gloaming. As it's Burns Night should we be Roamin' in the Gloamin' with a Scottish composer whose name is an S? (Only wildly guessing here)

              not Scottish I'm afraid, but the noun from crepuscular is good

                  Yes, and it will only be in your dreams!
                  Birtwistle has a ballet to do with pulses but that's nothing to do with the answer I think. Nouns from crepuscular? Don't want to do English Homework on a Friday night!!

                    fair enough, try crepuscule

                    though presumably you're on the way to the kitchen and won't have time etc. etc.

                          Actually mercia, I won't be heading for the kitchen for a while but I really don't have a clue about this at the moment, I only picked up a clue you said about twilight.

                          And, Cali, don't give me your big brown sad spaniels eyes and expect me to weaken!!

                                You may now say Woof woof, but once you said Toot, toot. OK, I know, it's me, not you, No need to explain.
                                Mercia said short composers who none of us would know?!! Nice one mercs!
