Where's the music input?

Where's the music input?

well I suppose this twice-set libretto will lead to two pieces of music

I've only found one (irrelevant) opera which actually begins with Y

I'm still not quite sure if hedgehog intends 'author' to mean 'composer' - not that I know any Cornish composers

[Flay]

I had a quick look at Wiki's List of Cornish musicians:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cornish_musicians

It says Malcolm Arnold is Cornish "by adoption." From his list of compositions I get this:

Nice to see some people puzzling out loud!

I did say that Mercia was correct to assume that the Cornish "author" was a composer. Most definitely born there, but doesn't wear their Cornishness prominently.

The artist in question died last century. That an artist (of the painterly kind) wrote the libretto/text is quite pertinent to the Y to be found.

Ah, but which Cornwall?

Cornwall County, Tasmania
Cornwall Island (Nunavut)
Cornwall Island (Ontario)
Cornwall, Prince Edward Island
Cornouaille, Brittany
Cornwall, Jamaica
Cornwall, California
Cornwall, Connecticut
Cornwall, New York
Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York
Cornwall, Pennsylvania
North Cornwall Township, Pennsylvania
West Cornwall Township, Pennsylvania
Cornwall, Vermont

Just asking...

... an elegant avoidance of specifying gender - possibly a hint - or a red herring

[hedgehog]

Definitely not a red herring, just annoying avoidance!

Cornwall in the UK. The composer actually lives there too! (well who wouldn't). P.S. Technicolor is a good a place as any to find the solution.

[Flay]

I have been trying to see if I can fit Alexandre Benois into all this.

But failed...

[mercia]

the Cornish "author" was a composer

was

so she has died

[hedgehog]

was

so she has died

NO No No! The composer is still very much alive! (the past tense was referring to the earlier post, sorry!)

P.S. Try the other way, get the word first.....painter...Technicolor, not red .......

[mercia]

has our Cornish-born living composer written for multiple pianos ?

[hedgehog]

Yes indeedy, c'mon mercia make the leap!

[mercia]

I plump for Graham Fitkin and From Yellow to Yellow

but no idea about the artist/librettist

You are correct!

Now to the artist: synaesthesia and, well you know pictures....exhibitions and all that!

Edit`; I have to depart - dinner & then a concert, I'm sure someone will oblige with the rest, will call in this evening late.
