It must've been hell in the Sanderson Fagan household if Sybil was an early riser - now where's my Purdey?

Why don't I understand that comment at all ?! (OK I know a Purdey is a posh gun)

or Biber Violin Sonata Representatio Avium, with sections nightingale, cuckoo, frog etc.
Richard Eilenberg - The Nightingale & the Frog
poem by W E Henley which starts The nightingale has a lyre of gold, set by among others, Quilter, Delius and Beach

The composers/text I had in mind were:

Handel, G F : The Cuckoo and the Nightingale ( a song, didn't know he wrote a concerto!)

Delius, F: The nightingale has a lyre of gold (text Henley)

Panufnik, R : The nightingale and the frog from Beastly Tales (Edwards)

Over to mercia!

[mercia]

oh, I didn't know there was a Handel C&N song - sorry I got the wrong nightingale + frog - and none of them were in Berkeley Square
shall I continue .......

Are you by any chance referring to a particular performance of Elgar's Kingdom conducted by Barbirolli?

O is a composer, those are three of his works

If you check that link out Norths, you'll see the error of your ways - Ms Sybil Sanderson Fagan still reigns supreme on this Board

Thanks mercia , I am now listening to orphan Child by one Otakar Ostrcil of whom I've never heard.

He wrote the other works as well.

It's been a tough day...

Eureka! 'Revealed' in a P which also links an English, a Dutch and an American composer (jazz).
