There is a hunt in Dido and Aeneas

.

... pertick'ly in the frenchified version of the story - Berlioz's Les Troyens

[mercia]

well done Dave
it's Dido & Aeneas as they appear in a French opera, sheltering in a cave
and a very big cantata which ends with the sun shining

[mercia]

actually, I think I'll fill in the blanks
The Wild Hunt of the Summer Wind at the end of Gurrelieder
and Royal Hunt & Storm from, as V says, Les Troyens

well done Dave, your go

[Dave2002]

Ah - I thought it might also be from Purcell - there's a hunt in that too if I recall correctly.

I'm thinking about an I - back in a while.

Thanks for the missing details, mercia. FWIW, not a Belshazzar fan either.

[Nick Armstrong]

I am a fan, and I'm furious with myself that I didn't make the connection...

Some cracking questions in this round. Nice one Dave

if only Liszt had set those words

[Tapiola]

if only Liszt had set those words

Liszt being an old Lothario would have altered the words to "I am laid on the valance and found panting"

[Nick Armstrong]

if only Liszt had set those words

I know I ask for it by saying every time Liszt gets a (frequent ) mention, but now this is getting close to cyber-bullying....

[mercia]

cyber-bullying
