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 3) Daniel Hyde - indeed Flay, current Informator Choristarum and Daniel Purcell's most recent successor

But the E in my opinion must devolve upon the ever diligent mercia!

[mercia]

oh dear, me again, I hope players haven't gone into hibernation



an E please to connect

a fifth piano concerto, the Moravian Thunderbolt and a hailstone chorus

[Flay]

oh dear, me again, I hope players haven't gone into hibernation

I've been quite busy so have only had time to lurk. But I feel you were all rather harsh on poor hedgehog yesterday. She is a newbie and surely is permitted to bend the rules a little by way of testing the waters.

I hope that hedgehog can swim, and that she'll float back!

[mercia]

you speak wisely Mr Flay

[Flay]

All may be well, they can swim!

[Resurrection Man]

Moravian Thunderbolt Maria Jeritza sang the role of the Empress in Die Frau ohne Scatten

Beethoven's Emperor concerto is his fifth.

Pure guess work.

Oh Flay and mercia - that's so kind. But yes I'm a hardy beast, don't worry, had other things on today. But I was in the process of answering mercia's question.

It's Egypt!

Händel Israel in Egypt (chorus "he gave them hailstones for rain" rather be swimming than hav'n them on me 'ed )

Saint-Saëns' 5th piano concerto is nicknamed 'The Egyptian'. No idea on the Moravian Thunderbolt though - Depardieu been seen lately in Egypt?

[mercia]

Maria Jeritza

[Resurrection Man]

A Chinese Honeymoon has the chorus singing Hail Hail the Emperor in Act 1....more sounds of straws being clutched

[mercia]

Mrs Tiggy unrolls in the nick of time

yes Egyptian Concerto and Israel in Egypt

two out of three


the risenman making a strong case for Emperor, but I'm afraid "not on the card"

[Resurrection Man]

Ah no...got it all wrong/

'Tis Egypt, methinks. Saint-Saens Egyptian Piano Concerto

Hailstone Chorus from Israel in Egypt by Handel

but then I draw a blank with the Moravian Thunderbolt

[Resurrection Man]

And Hedge beat me to it!

[hedgehog]

And the third thanks to RM is that Maria Jeritza starred in the title role of Richard Strauss' The Egyptian Helena (1928) (opera is not my forte - well I know a lot of the music, but not many of the star singers etc)

RM - happy to give you the Fword ! (sorry couldn't resist the pun)

[mercia]

Moravian Thunderbolt

Jeritza, the chosen [but expensive] singer for ......... ?
