No it'll be this one - one of your Robert Johnsons (I think the English one?)

Oh well done Yes I was sure it was another Anne...

I edited this - It's the Scottish Robert Johnson (ahem, being too hasty, on the Fl(a)y as it were)

[Flay]

Not at all. At the moment it's

Sorry, I was in fact at the pub! There was no signal, hence the lateness of my above reply.

You are indeed correct, it was Queen Anne!

Peter Warlock who was in fact Philip Arnold Heseltine wrote a song Queen Anne
Queen Anne Boleyn's Lament by Robert Johnson,
Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne by Handel, the first line being: "Eternal source of light divine"

There I was feeling all sympathetic at your plight....

You are well ahead of me there, Tiggers! The Wiki composer link from the madrigal takes us to the blues singer! I didn't know that there was a Caledonian composer too.

Basicaliy I dunno! What R you or Caliban going to do about it?

Most definitely Revanche for Caliban - he had the Queen Anne and two of the three, I just provided a diversionary bit of coleslaw!

As in Cyril Scott and Giles Farnaby, or should I look further?

No, so far so good: those are two of the gentlemen referred to !

Well I think I've got this.

It's Rubbra.

He wrote some variations on a theme by Farnaby and also by Scott and his 8th Symphony is dedicated to Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who is an interesting fellow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Teilhard_de_Chardin ( I now remember him from a visit to the Narural History museum in Paris ).

I don't know much Rubbra, but this symphony is indeed a good piece. I like the clarity of orchestration.

Here is a saddish trio: an S to link a sorrowing Mary, the tears of St Peter and the Angels of Peace.

a sorrowing Mary

Pietà? Stabat Mater??
