Oh go on, you are among friends you can trust......

Or is that amongst ?

And lets face it, we all resort to cases of eurolager when pay day is playing hard to get.

Lager? Rum? You can keep all that, wherever any of it might have originated!

Refererence to a "den" reminds me of Ronald Stevenson's name for his home studio - "the den of musiquity".

Reminds me of a comment by Richard Rodney Bennett, relating how, when he was a pupil of Elisabeth Lutyens, she would get him to lay out all the permutations of a 12-tone row so that she had a ready-made selections of possibilities from which to proceed: a kind of musical mise-en-place, I guess one could say.

Oops. Just had a senior moment. I was just thinking of the first book on serial composition I read, and the name Sydney Goodsir Smith crept in from the corners of my mind. Reginald Smith Brindle, of course.

And that remins me in turn of a certain Welsh composer (no names, no pack drill) who took a serial string quartet (I think - it might have been a string trio, I can't remember for certain as it's so long ago) to Lutyens who, when noticing a rapid passage in demisemiquavers in it wherein an E, a G# and a B happened to coincide (although you'd have had to be Boulez to have heard it as such), encircled those notes in red and scrawled "dull tonal references!"...
