I'm getting links to unmasking cleopatra samuel daniel's 1594 cleopatra...but probably 100% irrelevant.

Yes, that is irrelevant!

Mercia's reference to Daniel Purcell relates to the unmasked Queen...

[mercia]

Daniel Auber - Masked Ball

no, there's no queen - oops crossposted

[mercia]

Danny P completed Henry's The Indian Queen after the latter's death

mask/masque - the incomplete bit being Act 5 Masque, says wikipedia

Exactly... (I think 'mask' was an alternative spelling at the time)

One down - and a bit of a double connection there, D Purcell also having been organist at Magdalen College.

Another Daniel is similarly connected with Waynflete's foundation...

[mercia]

Telemann's father-in-law was Daniel Eberlin

??

I wonder what this sentence in wiki's Eberlin entry means - Allegedly, he proposed two thousand different scordatura for the violin

[Nick Armstrong]

scordatura

It's a Greek dip made with aubergine and garlic, isn't it?

The Telemann connection is with one of his compositions...

[mercia]

Telemann's Belsazar ?

the story of Belshazzar's Feast is from the book of Daniel


[I think the Waynflete Singers have recorded Walton's BF haven't they ? ]

[Nick Armstrong]

Telemann's Belsazar ?

the story of Belshazzar's Feast is from the book of Daniel

No it's more direct than that.

Nothing to do with Belshazzar either way...

scordatura

It's a Greek dip made with aubergine and garlic, isn't it?

... the 1894 du Maurier cartoon in Punch -

[One fashionable youth asking whether his friend liked Botticelli, foppish friend replied that he preferred chianti]

"Botticelli isn't a wine, you juggins!...

... It's a cheese!... "

[mercia]

well youtube has a 1731 Telemann oratorio called Daniel - sounds good too

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po2lsp4Oud0

I don't see it listed in wikipedia [which unfortunately I rely on]

Belshazzar? She's a beauty local to Chigwell, innit

... the du Maurier cartoon in Punch -

[One foppish youth asking whether his friend liked chianti, foppish friend replied that he preferred Botticelli"Botticelli isn't a wine, you juggins...

Yes, silly of me - the aubergine one's called Melisma.

Scordatura's just garlic and breadcrumbs...

That's right, mercs!

In fact there are two options:

the oratorio: http://www.classicalarchives.com/work/787767.html

or a cantata if you prefer:

[Nick Armstrong]

So we have

1) Telemann's works with "Daniel" in the title
2) Daniel Purcell who was organist at Magdalen Oxford and completed his cousin (?brother) Henry's "Indian Queen" with a "Mask" of his own composing...

and...

someone to follow Daniel Purcell...

There is guidance to be found close at hand, people... http://www.for3.org/forums/showthrea...College-Oxford
