Er, I'm so sorry, that was unworthy of the NMC thread.
Oh, it was the Prokofiev and it was called something like Mivvi and Lolly?

 Very well done, George! The Prokofiev was indeed the odd one out - Ala and Lolly was commissioned by Diaghilev, but was rejected by him too and the ballet saw the light of day as the orchestral Scythian Suite! Tcherepnin - Narcisse et Echo(1911) Stravinsky – Rite of Spring (1913) Debussy - Jeux (1913), Ravel - Daphnis et Chloé (1912), Richard Strauss - Josephs-Legende (1914) Prokofiev - Ala and Lolly, rejected by Diaghilev and turned into the Scythian Suite Poulenc - Les Biches (1923) The Tcherepnin Narcisse et Echo has much in common with Daphnis, including a wordless chorus, but predated Ravel's work by a year! (Good recording on Chandos). |

Of course, GG! Could we be looking for a Spanish connection? Anderson - Alhambra Fantasy Verdi - Don Carlos (The Escorial) Britten - Mont Juic Or a connection with the sun? Anderson - Stations of the Sun Britten - The Sun shines down Mussorgsky - Sunless |

Neither of those, I'm afraid, Your Eminence.
Perhaps I should say that the connection is a thematic one rather than a particular word that is common to the titles.

You have the correct Picture there, IGI, but not the connection I'm after. You get another composer for that.
Mussorgsky - The Great Gate of Kiev
Britten
Julian Anderson
Verdi
Gershwin

Jerusalem [Artichoke]
Ah, yes, hadn't thought of that one! I wonder if we're looking for specific locations? Anderson - Beautiful Valley of Eden Gershwin - An American in Paris Britten - Death in Venice |

Oh dear, I'm beginning to realise that absolute power doesn't bring happiness either. No, I'm afraid not once again. Not places, nor are those the works in question.

Oh dear, I'm beginning to realise that absolute power doesn't bring happiness either. Never mind, George. At least we're under way with one correct answer. I think this probably requires a little more lateral thinking in the cold light of day... Good night for now. |
