Well I'll be palestrina'd: http://www.uspalestrina1919.it/Originally posted by amateur51 View PostNothing? Buggerall in fact [another hooooge clue]
So the Under Milk Wood reference - the club - the composer....
I guess that lands me with a Q....
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I am confident enough in the P solution to offer a quick-fire Q which is common to 4 French composers: Boismortier, Massenet, Offenbach and Ravel"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

My clues led indeed to Under Milk Wood - Buggerall is the name in reverse of the village in which Thomas set it, Llarregub - and Organ Morgan thought Palestrina second only to Johann Sebastian BachOriginally posted by Caliban View Post

I'm doing it again - idiot!
I think it's Roussel.
I'm busy tomorrow (now this) morning, so if I'm right I won't surface till lunch time perhaps.
Feel free to carry on without me.Comment

Albert Roussel:
Resurrection based on a poem by Tolstoy
Le marchand de sable qui passe (The Sandman)
Rapsodie flamande (Flemish Rhapsody)
Dave's posting had not appeared when I wrote the above but as I shall not be around until Wednesday night or Thursday morning, I happily withdraw.
Off to Harrogate.
Looking forward to Radio 3 next weekend. A bit of a feste going on, it seems.
Best wishes to all

Angle
Looks like you've solved all of it then and I'm in agreement with the answers, though I did find a novel by David Lucero along the way - which was of course totally irrelevant. I can't do anything until at least lunchtime. Now I must go to bed.Comment

Bravo Angle! The return of the Don & he gets it in one!Originally posted by Angle View Post
Such a full answer too
So it's up to Angle for a T but he tells us he's orf to Harrogate. And the next in line is Dave who is absent today, he tells us. I am too
So ... either some brave soul steps forwards with a T or we wait for Dave - I'd go for the former me, personally, speaking for myself
