No, it wouldn't work for Janacek, but pursuing this line of enquiry for one of the other compoers could lead you to a correct answer.  Wink

Compoers: (plural noun): A plurality of infants small enough to be placed upon the same chamber-pot simultaneously.

Ollie, I take it you missed my "foudation year" before I nipped back to "modify" it, so:

foudation year - period of study during which one makes a fool of oneself in preparation for later progression to higher states of foolery.

BTW, 2,630 hits for "undergad" on Google. Wink

linger cling

linger cling -  to have the nature of attachment that exists for example between finger and bogey, when the latter just cannot be shaken off, as in;

a. Darling, this bogey is absolute linger clinging to my finger!

b. Oh darling, how simply horrible and dreadful and awful for you! My heart burns with compassion for your unbearable linger clinging predicament!.

a. Oh darling, that is so caring and gorgeous and wreathed-in-freshly-shampooed-golden-loveliness of you, that the shame of having mentioned the word 'bogey' in your presence may linger cling to me for life.

b. I cannot bear that you should be lunger clung to so, sweet sugar lump! Your adorabledom exonerates you from any horridness of diction!  Forget it this instant and let loveliness bounce once again around our cosy nest!

a.Oh my sweet celestial flower, how Aphrodite pales when placed next to your ...'

(continues until the 43 bus passes by outside and makes a horrid and dirty sound, and a. has to be comforted by b.)

anenome: a gnome watching over a pond full of aneoldfish

(Thought I'd get Tommo before anyone else did, especially since he's today suggested I look like not only Ron Grainer and Tristan Murail but also Dudley Sutton! Cry Cry Cry)

Oh Big Fat Hairy A**e!

I hang my head in shame - do you realise I actualy thought it was supposed to be "anenome"*.  I've been saying it that way for 30mumble years.  Well not quite, as I don't have recourse to use the word that often - only every November, Spring, and Seaside Trip.

Poo Poo Plop

Sorry about the Dudley Sutton, tinners.  It was only your names that weren't a million miles apart.

Tommo

* I suppose I shouldn't have admitted that?

...As for parallel triads in Nancarrow, though they do have a connotation very inconsistent with certain avant principles, one could see them as more auratically neutral by suggesting that their voicings serve to stratify texture, nothing more...

auratical, a. Pertaining to the tickling effect of disorganized wafts of air emanating from parallel triads as they strike the ear. [f. L f. Gk, = breeze, breath + OE tical]
