(For what it's worth further photos can be found here: http://www.taschenoper.at/neu/t05_stockhausen.phpThe photos by Reinhard Werner are from the final rehearsals; the ones by Klaus Rudolph are from the earlier rehearsal phase in Köln.) |

You're struggling, aren't you? Here are another two composers, plus the clue that it's not a common word link:
Shostakovich
Vaughan Williams
Satie
Ives
Honegger
Alexander Campbell Mackenzie
Lambert

Alistair, it there a Boston link?
Schoenberg taught there, at the Malkin Conservatory; Carter write a 'Boston Concerto' in 2002, which was conducted by Oliver Knussen. Any good?
Nice try, but no (and sorry for the long delay in responding - I've been away). |

  Well done, martle! I had a few different possibilities lined up, but your selection is fine: Shostakovich – The Golden Age (football) Vaughan Williams – Is my team ploughing? (Football - and surely one of the worst lines of poetry set in song?) Satie - Sports Et Divertissements Ives - Yale-Princeton Football Game Honegger - Rugby Mackenzie – The Cricket on the Hearth Lambert – Mr. Bear Squash-you-all-flat (!) |

(Football - and surely one of the worst lines of poetry set in song?) If you mean The goal stands up the keeper
Stands up to keep the goal[punctuation deliberately omitted] then I'm with you all the way. (Although I only really know it from Butterworth.) |

Yes, Ollie.  Guilty admission here....RVW doesn't actually set that footballing verse, so credit to him. I believe it upset Housman: "I am told that composers in some cases have mutilated my poems - that Vaughan Williams cut two verses out of 'Is my team ploughing?' I wonder how he would like me to cut two bars out of his music?" Apparently, RVW responded that "I feel that a poet should be grateful to anyone who fails to perpetuate such lines as
The goal stands up, the keeper
Stands up to keep the goal." Butterworth does include the football verses (and should have been the composer in the line-up instead), as does Ivor Gurney. No idea if Charles Orr included it in his setting. Also, I could/should have added John Ireland's Housman setting 'Goal and Wicket'. |
