Well done, Tommo! I was... er... hoping to get to the dove one today.  And as for IGI and Tommo-esque numerical sequences - genius. If that's not right, I'll eat my three-cornered hat.  |

Intriguing, Tommo. The only time I've knowingly seen Youmans' name is as the composer of 'Tea for Two', which DSCH arranged as his Tahiti Trot. Any good? And Paul Desmond could well be Take Five... Are we looking for a mathematical sequence?  Is it the Fibonacci sequence? Holst -  (but I can offer Bliss' Adam Zero as a sub!) Puccini - One fine dayBarber - Symphony in One MovementYoumans - Tea for TwoProkofiev - The Love for Three Oranges Paul Desmond - Take FiveGlass - Eight Days in JuneIf so, Thomas Albert's Thirteen Ways (based on Wallace Stevens' Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird) could be next. Then, there's the Butterworth song 'When I was one and twenty' from his Housman settings. As for an alternative sequence... Bruckner – Symphony No.0 ‘Die Nullte’ Bernstein - One Hand, One Heart from West Side StorySchnittke – Variations on One ChordVerdi – I due FoscariDe Falla – The Three-cornered hatVaughan Williams – Five Variants of Dives and LazarusReich – Eight Linesand another... Nyman – A Zed and Two NoughtsMaw – One foot in Eden, still I standWeill - One Touch of VenusSmetana – The Two WidowsWeber – Die Drei PintosRavel - Cinq mélodies populaires grecquesBerlioz - Huit Scènes de FaustBrilliant! I thought the Youmans and Desmond might give it to you. The Holst is a song. The Glass I had was Planet 8. And then I thought about Stravinsky Ragtime for 13 instruments... So the Sequence is....? And what works demonstrate that sequence? Tommo |

So, it is the Fibonacci Sequence? By 'works that demonstrate that sequence' do you mean works which could continue it, as in Thomas Albert's Thirteen Ways and Butterworth's song 'When I was one and twenty'? The Holst song is My Soul Has Nought but Fire and Ice. |

The Holst song is My Soul Has Nought but Fire and Ice. Yep - marks all round. By 'demonstrate' I was not at all clear and I actually meant works that were based upon the Fibonacci sequence. But you've got all that matters and this puzzle is dead. It is a deceased puzzle. It has shuffled.... Tommo |

Tommo
Ah, I see. Well, a quick google indicates that Bartók's Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta was structured using Fibonacci numbers. ( Examples here, scroll a third of the way down) though it requires more study than I'm able to give it at the moment. It's interesting how often Fibonacci numbers crop up in nature - my class last year found a number of flowers which had arrangements of petals featuring numbers in the sequence. |

Well, I'm not going to go for the obvious Alice link - is this something to do with the atrocious fish puns on another thread: Del Tredici - Haddocks' Eyes Satie - The Dreamy Fish Mahler - St Antony preaching to the fishes Britten - Albert Herring Couperin -??? |

Yes to Schubert and di Capua, Anty. The Couperin I had in mind was from the 22nd Ordre - L'Anguille (The Eel), whilst the third movement of Takemitsu's Toward the Sea is titled Cape Cod! |

Wasn't he just! I was there for the main Prom, having just returned home. It was the first time I've seen him in concert and he was just great - I've long enjoyed his music-making, but have been sceptical about his antics/ appearance etc, but I can honestly say that his stage presence is highly infectious. Here's a guy who clearly adores the music and he inspired the BBCCO to match him with some glorious playing. |

I saw him play football once, he did run like a gurlie! Now he playing Hendrix |
