Franco of Cologne - part-time Spanish Dictator and inventor of Franconian Notation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franconian_notation

??

Franco of Cologne developed a new musical notation based on the principle that each shape of note should represent a fixed duration.

Gruppen fur 3 Orchester by Stockhausen was first performed in Cologne.

The Joseph Haydn Institut in Cologne is producing a complete catalogue and urtext edition of Haydn's works.


Main honours, I think, to mercia, who is invited to lead us to somewhere beginning with D.

Yes, Bravo, Mercia!
And Bravo SCB: a real brainworm that one!

[mercia]

I guess we owe Franco everything then really, or would we have achieved modern notation without him, I wonder

great question

anyway, I'm a long way off inventing a D question, if anyone else has one at their fingertips?

[mercia]

D

an E-flat concerto and three-squared for Bliss-ful Georgetown anniversaries

Dunbarton Oaks?

[mercia]

Dunbarton Oaks?

indeed thank you

well Dumbarton actually + the Copland Nonet (3X3) for Mildred & Robert Bliss wedding anniversaries

your turn

[Nick Armstrong]

Oh I see... had to do some digging to find why the Copland was linked with Dumbarton.

Is F.H.Geliebte Esq in the building, planning an E, by gum?

Sorry about spelling mistake: I had a blomde nonent.

I didn't realize I'd got all three in one!

Hold on; I'll think up an E

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Okey dokey, try this:

An E to link

Karlheinz's Room
Walt's Corpse
Steve's polyphony

1st & 3rd Musical, 2nd literary, Link not inherently Musical

Well with your being called Ferneyhough it's going to be Stockhausen and Reich. Walt Disney's corpse is said to have been cryogenically preserved.

But the connections? Eee by gum. You've got me completely foxed.

Ciould you share your findings re the Copland clue please, Caliban?

[mercia]

In 1958, Dumbarton Oaks commissioned Aaron Copland to compose Nonet for Solo Strings (generally known as Nonet for Strings) in honor of the Blisses’ fiftieth wedding anniversary.

I can find a link between Steve Reich and Walt Whitman, but I cannot link it to Stockhausen.

Not really "literary": SCB gets it in #10275

The Stockhausen element could've said "rooms".
