Praise da Lord, ammy! You got it! Want to flesh that out?
"...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..."
Mozart - Laudate Dominum - Solennes de Confessore, K. 339:
Handel - Laudate pueri Dominum
Honegger - Laudate Dominum
Stravinsky - Laudate - Symphony of Psalms
Doesn't get much fuller than that

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

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.
