Alphabet associations - I

[Flay]

Spot on with Zemlinsky & Janacek
Not Milhaud, another Frenchman. With a somewhat medicinal surname - Flay should know

Caplets are easier to swallow than tablets

[mercia]

ah thank you so much, Herr Doktor

so Andre Caplet - Corbeille de fruits ?? - I thought corbeille was a crow

[Flay]

A crow is a corneille

You beat me to it. Corbeille de fruits for voice & flute, a setting of poems by Rabindranath Tagore (Écoute, mon coeur, Ce qui me viendra de vos mains consentantes, Doncques la douleur et l'aise de l'amour).

Écoute, mon coeur ; dans cette flûte chante
la musique du parfum des fleurs sauvages,
des feuilles étincelantes et de l'eau qui brille;
La musique d'ombres sonores, d'un bruit d'ailes
et d'abeilles.
La flûte a ravi son sourire des lèvres
de mon ami et le répand sur sa vie.

Picpus

Is this the act of choosing a kitten, or of scratching your acne?

[mercia]

Is this the act of choosing a kitten, or of scratching your acne?

erm, neither - it's a cemetery [as I'm sure you know]

[mercia]

oops, I've just realised there's a clanger in my question - I don't mean country, I mean region

[Flay]

Perhaps the poet is Jean-Antoine Roucher?

[Flay]

oops, I've just realised there's a clanger

Happy memories...

[mercia]

Perhaps the poet is Jean-Antoine Roucher?

no, another ........... and the hat has associations with Sarah Bernhardt

[Flay]

I suspect he must be André Chénier.

[Flay]

It's Umberto.

Umberto Giordano wrote the opera Fedora (Gemma Bellincioni took the title role at the premiere in 1898), and he wrote the opera Andrea Chénier in 1896.

I'm struggling with the region...
