    I should've realised flippant remarks like this would have come out. Goodness! Quite a repectable composer with an unfortunate name. Cant we get beyond this?

      Yes, and also the implication that once you've done all those things (chosen for you usually by a journalist) you might just as well lie down and die. Not one more painting or whatever is worth seeing ...

        Agreed! I've played a number of his pieces arranged for brass consort too...

        Guess you've played the 'Battle Suite' etc as well, BBM?

            Well, of course you should!

            Quite a repectable composer with an unfortunate name.
            Only quite respectable? what did he get up to?

            (not a lot, according to his Wikipedia entry. Gesualdo was much more exciting )

                  I see we have 'The Story of Music in 50 pieces' this morning. Th first thing I heard on Breakfast today was Zadok the Priest.

                  R3 definitely have a little list - don't think it even numbers fifty.

                    That title make it sound as though someone has dropped Music and this is what we're left with

                              And I've sent a message on PMs[private messages] but unfortunately it more that duplicated. I must ask [off topic] was it you that had the cairn terrier? I am now old and forgetful.

                                On the whole, I'd prefer the Battenburg, myself!
