    The Barcarolle pops up at midnight in Paris and in another Venetian Passage.........
    Crikey!!! That was a decent shot in the dark then!

    So there is still work to do on those two last elements... hmmm, let me see...

    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      Well the Offenbach is used in the soundtrack to Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris"...

      ... and the Mendelssohn 'Venetian' Gondola Songs in the 'Songs without Words' ?

          It is indeed. Not wishing to drag this out: the other unlikely bedfellow using the Offenbach Barcarolle is Sorabji in his Passeggiata Veneziana (hence "strolled" and "passageways" as it means both in Italian).

          Exit to a Can-Can from Caliban?

                You've stucken your pin in the right spot on the AA musical map, cloughie! (Long time no see! Good summer? )

                Yup - the two gentlemen were directors of music of the Cincinnati Symphony which gave the US première of Mahler 5

                D-cidedly impressive, Mr C

                      I don't think so but there are two American links one of which involves the frequent misuse of a certain overture.

                          Shame, I assumed that as it was a cloughie question it wouldn't be Maurice Ravel!

                          I had Bruno Ravel in the rock group Danger Danger, also Jim and possibly Daniel Danger

                              Bling + misuse of an ourverture (William Tell in the Lone Ranger) = Johnny Depp (I know it's not it, just an indication of how far away I am).

                                Hi ho - a French overture - and a composer who revered Ravel.
