    That'll bring back bad memories for you as we cut off your chance of the big time. Turner was a mixed blessing for both of us but I guess we both have good words for Richie!

    As I will be busy for a day or two a sUbstitUte setter would be welcome.

            Some leisure this evening to consider this.... I seized on the second to grasp at Ursula, hoping she'd written the words for VW's Dona Nobis Pacem ... but it turns out to be a setting of Whitman, dammit.

            In the process of searching, I have discovered this touching titbit, totally irrelevant but a thumb's up for old Scott - Wall Street was one of the first pieces by him I learnt to play...

            In 1909, Scott Joplin's deliberately experimental "Wall Street Rag" included a section prominently featuring notated tone clusters—apparently the first published work in the history of Western music with a cluster sequence.
            "...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..."

                Snap! I was also pursuing the "clusters" as a possible reference to the Pleaides - as in Britten's "Great Bear"="Ursa Major". Well - what else is there to do for half-an-hour in the run-up to Christmas?

                anton suggests a link with Dmitri Dmitrievich ... unless that avatar is Albert Tatlock after all?

                          Oh! Are Double Basses and huge mallets hitting crates involved?
