The Frogs as in French or as in violin bows?

Neither! (As in Kermit; or, better still, Aristophanes.)Originally posted by Oddball View Post[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

Enchanting clip, hedgehog. Totally ribbetting.Originally posted by hedgehog View Post
Not Pop/Rock, but Musical Theatre. And there is a connection with Aristophanes, but Aristophanes isn't the answer.(Is there a pop/rock connection though?)[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

That may narrow it down to Stephen Sondheim's The Frogs", which has a totally confusing plot, but doesn't get me much further.Comment

I was thinking that too Oddball. It's a bizarre plot, there is an Ariadne in there. Dick might be Richard Strauss with Ariadne auf Naxos and Harry is a Henry?Originally posted by Oddball View Post
But I don't think Henry Purcell wrote anything with an Ariadne or Arianna. I'm probably wildly off key as usual...Comment

Yes we are on the same (probably incorrect) lines hedgehog. Ariadne, for various convoluted, if not labyrinthine, reasons is my currently preferred candidate. Harry Potter - Ariadne Vane?Comment

This is a real puzzler, ferney... Ariadne...Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View Post
.... Crossed... Harry... Going round in circles here! 
EDIT: labyrinthine... aMAZEd...

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

You type faster than me Oddball - I was going to venture Harry Potter and Ariana Dumbledore. I guess amazing and crosses would come into this somewhere!Comment

Beginning to fall into place - Harrison Birtwistle - the Minotaur - I don't know about being amazed though - couldn't stand the sight of the blood of young maidens!Comment

B*gger... I had a passing thought a while ago.... Bet Ferns is on about Harry Birtwhistle... but (a) was otherwise engaged (b) forgot about The Minotaur....Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View PostSo, anyone care to supply the "Crossed" reference?
Crossed...
Delacroix...? Ariadne & Bacchus in Autumn?

Oh, very elegant ... mine is much more prosaic. Perhaps "Crosse - d" helps?Originally posted by Caliban View Post[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

Gordon Crosse : Ariadne for Oboe.
Btw - Oddball sussed out the Birtwistle.
Propose that 'B' be gifted to him/her ( I took the Z ).Comment

Ah.... that'll be Gordon Crosse then... (I'd forgotten I'd heard of him!Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View Post)
Ariadne, Op.31 for oboe and ensemble (1972)
EDIT: I've just been hedgehogged!! Ouch!!
