    One word of that is relevant!

    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        I was thinking about Van Eyck's 'Arnolfini Wedding' in the Uffizi, which I think also houses a Boticelli that inspired Rameau's Hen.

                        Is that on topic enough?
                        Afterthought: Cali, please look at my latest London pix sometime at the weekend, you will be entranced I'm sure.

                            Sounds of pennies dropping....Pasquini transcribed by Respighi for 'The Birds'; Jacob van Eyck transcribed a folk song about a nightingale; Rameau inspired by Boticelli. Am I getting any warmer as a result of cuddling up to Italian birds?

                              And "La colomba" ("The dove"; based on music of Jacques de Gallot) of course. Well done, and I shouldn't be saying that - it weren't my puzzle!!

                                Is that via links on the London streets thread?

                                Will do - I shall be catching up on the prog too this weekend, and finishing the London bridges prog and the one about London on film.
