    You're sort of in the right ball-park, but at the wrong end of the pitch...
    What about Laudate?

      Praise da Lord, ammy! You got it! Want to flesh that out?

            Thanking you kindly, young squire

            A nice quick one now cos it's short (just like me )

            An M to link Mozart and Alessandro Scarlatti?

            Okies team - I shall be shutting up shop at 22:00, apologies to the thru-the-night owls but I plan to be back around 09:00 Sunday.

                  too, too kind. re: Mozart operas, I was just warming to the overture to Bastien & Bastienne on TTN this morning when it stopped. is that the shortest overture ever? I digress.



                  an N to connect

                  a birthday prelude & fugue, the King Edward VII Hospital (London) and the first music heard at Glyndebourne

                    hope I haven't stalled things, I'm sure you'd like to be rushing forth ... ?

                      Still on the case, mercia. So far - JSB's birthday prelude & fudge = nice; King Teddy's= nugatory; and irst music = national anthem - just thought you'ld like to see my thought processes

                        thought you'ld like to see my thought processes
                        a bit scary close-up, but I'm glad I know what nugatory means now

                        if I throw a Bridge Idyll into the mix, might that help?

                        EDIT - it was a 10th birthday
                        EDIT EDIT - an employee at the hospital (as opposed to a patient)
                        EDIT EDIT EDIT - a prelude & fugue for strings

                          You want to try having them inside your noddle, mercia! Afraid the Bridge helps not one jot but others are brighter than I am and will seize upon it shortly, I'm sure

                                oh very good AG indeed you should.
                                Boyd Neel it is, one time doctor at the hospital, conductor of the BN orchestra, commissioner of BB's 18-part Prelude & Fugue (for the orchestra's 10th birthday) and the Bridge Variations, and according to wikipedia conducted whatever was first played at Glyndebourne.

                                your turn
