Silly me...I couldn't see the link between 'Buffets (i.e. Buff faze = finger food) and 'Rewards', until I realized you meant 'Buffet' (i.e. Buffert = Warren).
"Brtickbats and Bouquets" also works quite well.

I accept neither blame nor credit, Norths: 'twas the title chosen by the English publishers of Weingartner's memoirs. I was also momentarily puzzled by the reference to finger-food when I read the title, until I realized that it was more to do with buffeted by the winds of Fate.

"Brickbats and Bouquets" also works quite well.

I've been looking up Mohammed's wife Aisha then remembered that she is a "musician" *DOH*

Is it to do with this lady: "Aisha, sometimes Sister Aisha (born Pamela Ross, 1962, Wolverhampton, England)[1] is a roots reggae singer" ?

Welcome back mercia, as ever with the answer!

The Z is indeed Peter Zinovieff who made the VCS 3 Synthesizer nicknamed the "Putney" (on which I learnt the basics of electronic music, although even by then a bit of a dinosaur, but fun).
As you say he also wrote the libretto for Birtwistle's Mask of Orpheus and wrote a "concerto" OUR for the violinist Aisha Orazbayeva with electronics, of which 5 Bagatelles were made and feature on her debut CD "Outside".

Again the baton is handed over to you!

For a B - do you hear out there big concertos but another rather sugary piece.

[mercia]

is B a composer ?

Bloch ?

[Northender]

Big concertos = Concerti Grossi?

[mercia]

I hope "sugary piece" isn't suite

[cloughie]

Bloch ?

Yes Bloch but in fact two composers.
