What K links

but all shall be well
Knave of hearts
The multiplier effect

K could be said to be musical 2 of links definitely musical

[mercia]

so far I have Maynard Keynes, Richard Kahn, Lewis Carroll and Julian of Norwich but nothing connecting yet

[antongould]

Only Chancellor George's favourite economist is correct the other 2 are composers

[mercia]

perhaps we're after educational establishments

MK and Arthur Somervell (Knave of Hearts) were both at King's Cambridge
Somervell's getting a lot of mileage on this thread

[antongould]

He is indeed and you have ace'd it yet again .............................but all shall be well? You don't have to go very far through the alphabetical list of alumni

And so was Thomas Adès, composer of "...but all shall be well".

[mercia]

but all shall be well?

a-ha!! Mr T Ades (also of KCC) opus 10 (for orchestra?)

he must have been quoting Julian of Norwich (I think)

EDIT - but SCB is there before me

... I was just about to say that!!! Pipped me to it, scb!

EDIT - and mercia!!

[antongould]

well done all 3 and mercia - who will grumble- should set an L of a question.............................

[mercia]

mercia - who will grumble

indeed he will

I wonder if someone else would care to set a question. I am heavily otherwise occupied at the moment.

[subcontrabass]

According to the programme notes he was quoting T S Eliot (Four Quartets). I presume that Eliot was quoting Julian of Norwich.

[antongould]

I, possibly wrongly, associate it with Eliot but as neither TS or J of N are with us perhaps scb or Caliban could do an L of a job?

[Nick Armstrong]

I'm happy to step up to the plate (though have to be out for a while in half and hour or so).

What is the L connecting an archaic Swiss suite, a French bacchanal and a Polish nocturne?

[Il Grande Inquisitor]

What is the L connecting an archaic Swiss suite, a French bacchanal and a Polish nocturne?

Stumbling in blindly, is it something to do with John Lanchbery? Famous for his arrangements - A Month in the Country featured a Chopin nocturne, the Swiss suite could be La boutique fantasque which featured (I think) some of Rossini's music from William Tell. Unsure about the French bacchanal though...
