Martinů
Grainger
Debussy
Michael Berkeley
Koechlin

I don't like this game. Are the REAL musical connections somehow more compelling than the suggested ones? I'll be in the grumpy room.  |

It would be neat if it were something along the lines of:
Grainger - Handel in the Strand
Koechlin - Offrande musicale sur le nom de Bach
but I don't think it is so I don't know why I've bothered to post it.

Oh, I think it's an exceedingly good connection!  Sorry, Tony; it's not a series of pieces linked to other composers. Perfect wagnerite...not forests/woods, but you're not a million miles away!  |

Based on your exceedingly good clue, IGI, I'll have a guess at:
Debussy - La Danse de Puck
Grainger - Jungle Book
Martinu - The Butterfly That Stamped

 Nice work, Daniel, and an excellent way to mark your 500th post! Any idea of the Koechlin or Berkeley? |

an excellent way to mark your 500th post! Thanks, but I'm a little confused as to how that happened? Any idea of the Koechlin or Berkeley? Apparently, Michael Berkeley has written an opera called Baa Baa Black Sheep with libretto by David Malouf, based on Kipling's childhood. Was that the one you had in mind, your holiness? |

That's the one, Daniel. I recall seeing part of television broadcast where some of the characters from Kipling's life also played characters from The Jungle Book. There is a Chandos recording. |

Oh, I think it's an exceedingly good connection! Missed the hint entirely, I'm afraid. Observer crossword was a bugler today as well - not a good day for the little grey cells. |

Did you see the tv drama about Kipling shown on Remembrance Day? It was about his son, Jack, and his role in WW1. David Haig, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Kipling, wrote the screenplay and starred in it, along with Daniel Radcliffe as his son. It was very moving.  |
