        Apologies, twas intended as a witty and pithy counterpoint to the preceding 'Why not...' ... I guess the internet sometimes doesn't do 'wit and pith' too well

          Whereas you, Duckie, do wit and taking the pith all too well!!
          I see anton's got it - I had an alternative which works with current climes .... but a long time since I played AA.

            Oh gosh, no offence taken! I was responding merrily. Your retort was so clough-like!

            We are indeed blessed with Calib's presence hereabouts.

            Save it, don't splurge it, Anna! It will keep for another round.

              The luckiest of lucky stabs in checking all 3 I saw Naples/Naopli but my coleslaw will probably not be up to the standard demanded by the returning Anna.....

              Poulenc Napoli Suite for Piano

              Then we get thin bits of dry celery.....

              Liszt had Venezia e Napoli and

              Haydn Notturni for the King of Naples


              Not up to O level standard possibly...?

                      My grandma used to bounce me up and down on her knee and sing this old music hall song:

                      Oh! Oh! oh Antonio
                      Left me alone-ee-o,
                      I want to meet him with his new sweetheart
                      Then up will go Antonio and his ice-cream cart!!

                      And then, she'd fling me up in the air!! And, of course, I would shriek with joy whilst being terrified I would not be caught!

                      Happy Days. What strange memories that brought back of being about 2 years old!

                      Sorry, terribly offtopic. Apologies. It was the combination of Anton and O that brought it on.

                          Now the music of Ockeghem I know very well. I've sung a lot of it and studied all the masses.

                          "Ma bouche rit" is a chanson of his.

                          His requiem I think is now more regarded as the earliest surviving polyphonic setting of the requiem mass rather than the first, I think there may be references to other requiems in some manuscripts. Whatever, it's a wonderful piece of music.

                          He was left handed.

                            Brilliant H ....you have it - I didn't notice he was left handed but he was according to Wiki a left handed choir singer which meant he sang composed music, right handers sang chant!!!

                            Press on.

                                Would the Alps need to be crossed for this solution?
