Annoyed not to have had time to join in, great to see Anton, Taps and Northo jousting again!
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

OT, but did you manage to catch part 2 of the Art of the Low Countries last night, Cabana (I read your enthusiasm about part 1 on another thread...)? Jaw-dropping was your (most apposite) epithet on the earlier episode.Comment

I'm just sorry it's not on an HD channel 
Must go for lunch (see 'Hostelries'

As a longterm admirer of Bosch and Brueghel the elder, I too wondered about episode 2. I need not have worried - I think you are in for a treat!

YES!! And, if anything, I'm even more grateful for his touching and revealing comments on Frans Hals, a painter whom I have previously not appreciated nearly enough.Originally posted by vinteuil View Post... loved it.

Yes indeed vinteuil. If only the programme was twice as long. I do like Andrew Graham-Dixon. I feel he gets the right balance between erudition and accessibility in his programmes. He also bears a remarkable resemblance to my late lamented father-in-law.
Back to the game...
As a clue-ette, I might say that of the three works by this V, one is lost.
As another hint, think of mass divided by volume...Comment

Is it Varese?

Octandre for Double Bass, and septet of winds and brass;
... brought up by relatives of his mother in the Burgundy region of France (and, IIRC, wrote a now-lost orchestral work with "Burgundy" in the title?).[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

Oui, oui, oui et oui
According to my Michael Kennedy dictionary, the lost work was entitled simply "Bourgogne". I love Varese, me.
The W is yours...Comment
