I'm thinking that the Lehar is 'Rose de Noël' (Ian did one on roses earlier) which could mean a Christmas link? Bach - Christmas Oratorio?

Ian

Is it games?

Bach: tba
Mozart: Musikalisches Wurfelspiel (musical dice game)
Lehar (unpublished): tba
Scelsi: Chemin du coeur (play on the game chemin du fer)
King Crimson: Three of a Perfect Pair


OK - way off, I'm afraid.

Or possibly, inspired by Ian's Spanish set, the Lehar could be Die Tangokönigen...

If there is a Spanish connection there's Hispania by Scelsi...

Much too devious for me. Good night and good luck.

I fear it's outsmarted us all, Dan. Sad

If there's a Spanish connection, then the Scelsi isn't Hispania because it isn't in French. I wondered (if Die Tangokönigen's correct) if it might be dances as the connection?

There's also the chance that Lehar's 'Rose de Noël' could lead us in an entirely different direction...

Going back on my self-imposed rules a little! No, there isn't a Spanish connection. IGI is otherwise looking in the right place.

Splendid stuff, and no need for an appearance from Verdi. Do you know the Blacher at all? An interesting oratorio.

So, anyone with any more quartets before somebody cracks Ian's?

No I don't know the Blacher - in fact I don't think I know anything by him!
How about these:
Britten
Berlioz
Adams
