Alphabet associations - I

[antongould]

You're right to look for translations, but German is not involved: English, Latin and French. Three works by three different composers all associated with the I.

Is the I a place?

Is the I a place?

(I'd forgotten I'd set this!)

[antongould]

(I'd forgotten I'd set this!)

I give up ....

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

I give up ....

Oh dear ... I seem to have put everybody off with this puzzle. The last thing I wanted to do to Forumistas was irk 'em.

[subcontrabass]

I give up ....

I thought we had all given up.

[vinteuil]

... ferneyhiccough's hint leads me to believe the place we are looking for is in Paris.

As the works must date from the 20th century - don't look to me for an answer!

I was thinking it might be Ireland - but I am still with the I Give Up Gang .......

... all perfectly acceptable, if not what I was thinking.

So - to sum up: three works all conceived and realized at IRCAM, (the "Institute for Research and Co-Ordination between Music and Acoustics").

(the title, meaning "I lament the dead, the living I call to prayer" is the inscription on the bell at Winchester cathedral whose manipulated sounds - together with those of the composer's twelve-year-old son - make up the materials of the piece.)

Gerard Grisey: Les Chants d'Amour

... all of which leaves vinty with full laurels - and the J if he so chooses ...

[Flay]

Oh Joy! AA is back!

[cloughie]

Oh Joy! AA is back!

Good morning Flay.
Reminds me of a song 'My favourite waste of time'.
All we need now is a Vinti J set of clues and the [B]Advent[B] ure recommences.

[antongould]

indeed the AA world awaits the J(oy) of vinteuil .......

... ho ho!

Sadly am out of puff at the moment : am very happy to delegate to Enthusiasts the carrying on of the baton.

Would Flay, Cloughie or antongould like to take up the challenge?

House overrun with grandchildren but could attempt something tonight when KD is on Strictly .... Of course if another member wishes to step up to the plate ......

Busy at the moment but if I think of something whilst on my chores... Don't let that stop anyone - as there seems to be an interest in reviving AA then we should do it ...
