Am I right in assuming that the well known apple-grower Gerald Finzi is involved?

Not my early return, such is my devotion to the AA cause

Spot-on Norths - Gerald Finzi it is

[amateur51]

looks like funny-old Lord Berners is involved again

Gerald, Lord Berners wrote The Triumph of Nepture, spot-on mercs

I guess the dreamer was McBurney.

Not what's on the card I'm afraid, cloughie

So we're left with what G links the premiere of a musical meditation on dreaming - a piece written by one of this year's centenarians - the one closest to home.

the wiki page for Gerald English says he premiered Britten's Nocturne

however, the wiki page for Britten's Nocturne says Pears premiered it



then again I may have the wrong piece, but I'll stick with English

You're right to stick with Gerald English, mercs - right piece as well.

Norths got us to Gerald but then mercs got the final two - on balance I'm giving it to mercs. I hope that's ok

Over to mercs for an H, svp

[mercia]

may I pass H to Northender please ?

besides I was nowhere without his first Gerald

As you like mercs - very generous of you
