I've heard mixed things about her Poppaea, but hope to have a chance to make up my own mind. Any tips for how early I'll have to start camping out for that one? Really not sure how the day queue will go... but let's just say I have taken the day off work to be in the season ticket queue. |

Den Himmel beßrer Zeiten mir erschlossen,
Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür!

I'm guessing this is not a single word link. I wondered about clocks / clocktowers / bells, but didn't get anywhere further than Ligeti and Dvorak.
Maw really doesn't help!

So Maw is less, so to speak?!
You're right in that it's not a single word connection, but is thematic.

So the Sequence is....? And what works demonstrate that sequence?
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. 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 Rather missed the boat here, but I do know that Ferneyhough used the Fibonacci sequence to derive the sequence of time signatures at the opening of the Second String Quartet, albeit in a peculiarly idiosyncratic fashion. I believe a few other contemporary composers have used it, including my teacher. |
