How about an S to link joy with a funeral song and a quarrelsome archer.

The quarrelsome Archer I can think of begins with a T - but then I guess yours is a long way from Ambridge.

Edmund Rubbra:


Song of the soul, op 78 for chorus and orchestra
Soliloquy, op 57 for cello, two horns, timpani and strings
Nemo Fugue for Piano

Gosh, I knew I had a Song of the Soul copy on my shelves but didn't think to look under "R" . I'm a fool!

Nemo fugue - never heard that one!

Got a tape of that cello piece.

Good work scb!

Thanks, mercs. Is this an example of the Nänie state, needing help like this?

[subcontrabass]

So we had texts by Schiller:

Beethoven: Symphony 9, last movement: An die Freude "Ode to Joy"
Brahms: Nänie (A Funeral Song)
Rossini: Guillaume Tell , based on Wilhelm Tell (Tell used a crossbow which fires quarrels [for those who want all the gory detail])

Tea time for Flay, I think.
