It's not a common word (well, not in the titles anyway).

BTW I haven't forgotten about the DSCH, I just need to sort out a new CD drive.

I did the Boulez DVD this afternoon - should be in the post tomorrow.  Smiley The DSCH report sounds interesting - quite a thread, isn't it?

Not a common word link, eh? Starting off with a real squeezer it seems...

Is it connections to Venice?
That's just a stab in the dark...

Hello hh

Good to see you again. Not a Venetian connection, no. A little bit of digging may be required (and there may be more than one 'right' answer for some of the composers).

Actually i didn't know that Smiley

Not Oedipus Rex, no. Without wishing to give too much away the Rorem is the odd one out (in a sense).

Ah. I had been thinking about autobiography (but run into an obstacle with Britten).

But now you say that, starting off with Rorem (as I was doing) is probably not the best bet...

Auden seems to have been set by all four:
Rorem The Auden Poems
Britten Paul Bunyan and the rest!
Henze Three Auden Songs
Stravinsky The Rake's Progress

But that doesn't really explain why Rorem's the odd one out. Is it because Auden wrote texts specifically for the other three?

Well done, hh, you are pretty much there. I was actually thinking more in terms of Auden as librettist (The Rake's Progress, Paul Bunyan and The Bassarids) so in that sense Rorem's Auden songs is the odd one out.

Lots of bubbly to you Smiley
