Indigo and the Forty Thieves J Strauss Operetta

Yes, that's the last one, FerneyHG having correctly provided the first in an indirect manner: Ellingon's Mood Indigo.

It's over to you Cloughie for a J.

I'm going to be off-line now so maybe Ferney as the Indigo finder would like to do the J.

But I got it wrong! (I also thought that the G was "green", and had the same line-up as Flay in #33411 )

But to keep the ball rolling:

This J was a first from both Felsted and West, and was often Hurd in schools.

But you could have so easily got it right

Jonah?

I thought I had!

Jonah?

Correct. I promise to stop my wailing (would that the Japanese government had the same attitude) if you'll supply the Coleslaw.

Sorry, just got back.

Jamaica boasts the first classical composer in the Caribbean, and possibly in the New World. Samuel Felsted wrote an oratorio called Jonah which was first performed in 1775.

Michael Hurd JONAH-MAN JAZZ 1966 (for children ugh, I shudder to think - or is it good?)

West - I don't know!

Michael Hurd JONAH-MAN JAZZ 1966 (for children ugh, I shudder to think - or is it good?)

Gosh, that gave me a sudden shock of déjà vu. I haven't heard of that piece since it was imposed on our music lessons when I was about 11.

I cannot say that I recommend it though.

Ditto.

Michael Hurd JONAH-MAN JAZZ 1966 (for children

ugh, I shudder to think - or is it good?)

1960s Middle-Class Englishman trained in Western Classical Music writes sort of thing he thinks kids might like as a change from the usual sort of thing they were doing in Music lessons before then.

West - I don't know!

I should've stuck with Argento or Rudolf Tobias, because I was thinking of the artist Benjamin West's illustration for the Felsted's oratorio:

... which is too arcane for AA. Apologies.

Would you care to Knock us for six with a K, please?

Congrats, ferney, on your ahinton-esque virtuosity with the split/multiple quotes!!

Sibelius might have been nice

I shall remember to "google scholar" as well next time

Would you care to Knock us for six with a K, please?

Has probably been done, but: Three compositions involving a K: some variations, a quadrille and a national park!
