Your little green light's still on though but... Are you really offline?

Jacob Druckman is involved:

Animus I, (1966–67) for trombone and electronic tape
Animus II, (1967–68) for mezzo-soprano, percussion and electronic tape
Animus III, (1968) for clarinet and electronic tape

I can't get the Jacob - Debussy connection... and I don't understand the varied Purcell reference, could someone explain?

Gordon Percival Septimus Jacob (I kid ye not): Variations on an Air by Purcell, perhaps?

Hmmm ... I won't be around much either, leaving early afternoon for Cambridge and 'St Matt Passion' at King's ... but this is easy, should be over this evening.

Assuming (EDIT: and now endowed with) mercia's consent at relieving him of setting duties here goes:

Which K links Rimbaud and Dostoevsky with an organ grinder named after an insect?

Thanks mercs, I'll double-check - I think I did set it to record, but not tomorrow (as Broadchurch will need to be recorded while I'm in King's Chapel).... one of the later broadcasts will be in the can though

I'm very much looking forward to it and have hopefully "taped" the 02.30 matinee.....

Late-night clue: the K is the surname of a real person who met a most sorry end; the organ grinder is a fictional / allegorical creation...

not sure if this is the time of day when one should take a back seat to let Angle have a go ?????
if this answer is correct I would love Angle to set a question

Czech composer Hans Krasa (new to me) was killed in Auschwitz aged 45. He set Rimbaud in his Three Songs (1943) and Dostoevsky in Betrothal in a Dream (1928). His opera Brundibar concerns an evil organ-grinder, the man of the title (who represents Hitler) with Brundibar also being a Czech word for bumblebee.

I haven't really done the man justice, there's plenty of info. in wikipedia.

100% correct mercs!

Not a CD Review listener? There were ear-catching excerpts from his "Brundibar" suite on Saturday

BRUNDIBAR Music by composers in Theresienstadt (1941-1945)
KRASA: Suite from Brundibar
ULLMANN: String quartet no.3, Op.46
KLEIN: String trio
HAAS: String quartet no.2, Op.7 “From the Monkey Mountains” (“Z opicich hor”)
Nash Ensemble
HYPERION CDA67973 (CD)

Often if I set a puzzle at the weekend, it'll be based on something heard on Ssturday morning...

V happy for Angle to take over!
