Well, you would, wouldn't you!
We're never "at home" for the Norfolk "Wymppe-Outtes" at Ferney Hall!
Very well, then:
X marks the spot for Mary in part two of a Birtwistle production but not by Carl Davis; and 1AM; but Cavalli did it first (once with Lully).

Can we presume that is Will.I.Am and not IAMS for cats?

"1" ("one") not "I". (Sounds like something overheard in an elocution class!)

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

xerxes?

Yes. That's the easy bit over - the coleslaw's where the work has to be done!

[Anna]

xerxes?

Oh well done RM, you got it in one!! So the Carl Davis that he didn't do was Pride & Prejudice, in that he didn't do his his own score to the Xerxes that he did?

I honestly thought, with Easter coming up, ferney was getting rather cute and the X represented a Cross and the internet misled me re Birtwistle (I know nothing of his) about Mary

[Resurrection Man]

Lully wrote Xerxès (ballet; for F.Cavalli's 'Serse'), LWV12

"Pride and Prejudice" Episode #1.2 (1995) -
produced by Sue Birtwhistle

"Ombra mai fù" (uncredited) from "Xerxes" Composed by George Frideric Handel;

1am to go

[Resurrection Man]

Bizarrely, Google threw up http://xerxes-cheshire-cat.deviantar...1-am-217961083 but I'm sure it is not that

There is a group called the Xerxes/Midnight Souls - maybe they had a record called 'one hour later'?

[Anna]

I didn't know about the Birtwistle with an H for Pride and Prejudice, I'd also got sidelined into Jerry Springer - The Opera. I'll leave it to RM to finish it off.

[amateur51]

Yes. That's the easy bit over - the coleslaw's where the work has to be done!

Oh goody

Do you remember on the radio show 'Animal, Vegetable & Mineral' each week one of the panel had a round to solve all by themselves? Anona's Solo was always my favourite

Perhaps this could be RM's Solo?

Lully wrote Xerxès (ballet; for F.Cavalli's 'Serse'), LWV12

Cavalli was commissioned to write a new opera for Louis XIV, but didn't finish on time, so his most popular work, Xerses was given a new performance with extra Music by Lully.

"Pride and Prejudice" Episode #1.2 (1995) -
produced by Sue Birtwhistle

"Ombra mai fù" (uncredited) from "Xerxes" Composed by George Frideric Handel;

Mary Bennet (played by Richard Briers' daughter) plays the piece rather poorly. (I think, like Sir 'arrison, Ms Birtwistle [beg 'er pardon: Lady Eyre] lacks an "h" in 'er surname.)

1am to go

Look more for "AM" rather than "am" (the "1" is historical - "1st")

Que?

I think you're "rather cute", too!

There isn't much point hanging on for this - ResMan has easily earned the Y/Z and this is such an obscure reference (to say nowt about the clue!) that I wouldn't've been able to provide it without WIKI.

Ombra mai fu was the very first piece of Music broadcast on an AM Radio frequency range (Christmas Eve, 1904).

I would never have got that in a month of Sundays !

Skipping ever so adroitly onto A


An A to link Michael's poses, Mark's orchestra and Steve O'Connor,

Are we talking the Steve O'Connor who had a minor role in the classic Amy's Orgasm?
