Should be easy
It was a horror once called Camilla, but then attained great happiness, with two fires burning on it in the South Pacific.Comment

They all say that!Originally posted by hedgehog View PostShould be easy
Is the first word of the puzzle really "It" - or should it be "I" ?
"...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..."

Staring at this for sometime, I haven't got any further than Camilla, ossia il sotterano, an Italian opera based upon a "horror" opera at the time of the French revolution. Subsequently LVB wrote Fidelio, based on same story. It- alian???Originally posted by hedgehog View PostShould be easy

1945 horror film Isle of the Dead originally entitled Camilla
not surprisingly the Rachmaninov predates that (and probably isn't a very happy piece)
I guess we're looking for other (musical ?) isles ? enchanted ? joyeuse ? I see that 'joy' got an emphatic no
Bali Ha'i [Ambae] has one volcano apparently

Sorry - this hedgehog is diurnal!
Flay :
yes, that's the one.Bliss?
Yes Mercia, right on both counts here. (Apologies too, I realise my sentence should have read "It also was a horror first called Camilla....Originally posted by mercia View Postnightshift

I was going to change that this morning, but you got there unaided!
Personally I don't think pre or post dating should really come into it - it's hard enough to think of
clues at all! The pieces are not mentioned in chronological order either, though I guess with a little more thought I could have manufactured a sentence which did that.)
Now for the rest!Last edited by Guest; 14-02-13, 08:40.Comment
