    It is another Solomon Eccles (1649-1710). Some music he wrote for one play in 1700 was recycled for Henry IV Part 1.

    I think you get the privilege of giving us an 'F'.

              Which lute-playing G connects:

              a paternal madrigalist
              a regal ensemble
              Eisler's prosperous journey

                    Galileo Galilei, amongst his other accomplishments, played the lute.

                    His father, Vincenzo Galilei, composed (amongst other works) two books of madrigals.

                    Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody includes the name "Galileo" several times.

                    Hans Eisler composed Galileo Galilei (libretto by Brecht) whilst in exile in USA.

                      Very well done because it was NOT an easy one - a splendid novel F, Forlane.... that word had completely escaped me at any rate.



                      And I hope scb or fhg will explain Galileo as I have NO IDEA where that comes from.

                      I think my brain has been damaged by Christmas sherry....

                      EDIT: Explanation given - thanks scb! I need a coffee urgently !!
                      "...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..."

                        Spot on, and the incidental Music for Brecht's Life of Galileo was "recycled" by Eisler under the title Gluckliche Fahrt (Prosperous Journey) after Goethe - which I'd hoped would be a cunning Red Herring!

                          Hmmm... Gluckliche Fahrt 1946, Galileo Galilei 1947 ?


                          An H to link:

                          (1) a German carpet maker
                          (2) an Austrian critic
                          (3) a Danish librettist

                            I do hope that subcontra would not have such bad taste as to have "Bomber" Harris as his answer for making carpets in Germany...

                              You should be looking for someone musical who was born in Germany.
