        o, but this is a great title - along with such Dowland treasures as -

        "Lady Hunsdon's Puffe"

        "Mrs. White's Nothing"

        "Mrs. Winter's Jump"

        [ and of course, all respect to a fellow Boardee -

        ""Tarleton's Riserrectione" and "Tarleton's Jig" ... ]

          Reminds me of the time when for a number of issues of the Gramophone Classical Catalogue Moeran's Whythorne's Shadow appeared as 'Shythorne's Shadow'. Got me wondering as to whether it may be a breed of cattle or maybe related to the Blackthorn but was not seen as much!


          鳥は星型の庭に降りる by Takemitsu is that Japanese for
          'A flock of birds descends into the pentagonal garden' which of course could be as messy as My Lady Carey's Dump!

            One which was mentioned on BAL a couple of weeks ago was, of course, The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, or Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Purcell. The former has a rather didactic feel to it in today's world -- " Now children, listen to teacher ! " The latter suggests anything but the joyful piece that it is.

              Two of my party pieces here

              Another is "Fantasía que contrahaze la harpa en la manera de Ludovico" by Alonso de Mudarra, 1546. The thought of Rob C getting his tongue round that is too horrible to contemplate. A disarming note by the composer at bar 59 says: "From here to near the end there are some discords, if played well they do not sound bad".

                I think a mass twitter request is in order.

                Priceless, Mr Newman

                Ditto, Mr Tarleton
                "...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..."

                      I rather like both the piece and its title, but how do others respond to Gavin Bryars's Poggioli in Zaleski's Gazebo?

                        thats interesting
                        I used to have a (hand written ) score of that piece which had the title "Out of Zaleski's Gazebo" ??

                        but i'm very fond of La Monte Young's

                        " The Tortoise Recalling The Drone of The Holy Numbers as They Were Revealed in The Dreams of The Whirlwind and The Obsidian Gong and Illuminated by The Sawmill" and "The Green Sawtooth Ocelot and The High-Tension Line Stepdown Transformer"

                            now I should have found that out myself
                            as I do have the type of internet that lets you find out stuff about things you know nothing about
                            rather than the other sort that lots of people seem to have

                              I attended, and recorded, the rehearsals and concert at the Air Gallery in 1977 which is mentioned here.
