Alphabet associations - I

[amateur51]

sorry, that's got me stumped too (unless there's a baby salamander (called Grimes) born 9/2/10 .................. they're not very cute though, are they)

Ken Livingstone's solicitor on the line for you, mercia ..

I do have a lot of Sinatra in my CD collection!
Here's what I think is a pretty straightforward 'I'
Which 'I' links Arne, Gluck, Schickele and Schubert?

Oh how the phrase "Here's what I think is a pretty straightforward ..." strikes terror into my simple-minded heart

I do sympathize ...does it all sound Greek to you?

[amateur51]

Is this your actual Iphigenie/Iphigenia?

Peter Schikele wrote Iphigenia in Brooklyn

Gluck wrote Iphigénie en Aulide

Arne wrote Cymon and Iphigenia

[Norfolk Born]

...and Schubert? (The 'J' - or 'K' if you prefer - is yours anyway! )
(Didn't Gluck write 'Iphigénie en Tauride' - not that it matters?)

[amateur51]

Crikey!

I hear that a young hero had a big hit, not on an anvil as you might expect nor with the Parry but with Butterworth in America recently - how does a J connect them?

...and Schubert? (The 'J' - or 'K' if you prefer - is yours anyway! )
(Didn't Gluck write 'Iphigénie en Tauride' - not that it matters?)

I got that from google, Norfs

isn't that newts rather than salamanders? (or am I nitpicking?)

[Norfolk Born]

Just for the record: the missing 'Iphigenie' is a song ('Iphigenia' D573) by Schubert.

Cheers Norfs!

I'm off out soon probably until about 17.00 if not for the rest of the day.

Apols for any inconvenience caused

Shall I spill the beans just to keep things moving?
(On second thoughts, I'll let somebody else have a go)

Shall I spill the beans just to keep things moving?

Why not? - 5 mins to go

[Norfolk Born]

OK - I think it's Jerusalem (Parry, Jez Butterworth's hit play, and perhaps Siegfried Jerusalem?)
