I admit I had not heard of Karg-Elert so I wandered forth and listened to said composer via the medium of downloaded mp3s. A trifle plodding, if truth be told, but music nonetheless.
I am baffled by Member Marbelflugel's reference to Tilller Girls. Does he mean the wives of Bargees who, when their husbands were slightly worse for the wear, took control of said tiller and piloted the Barges down (or indeed up) those marvellous canals which our forebears travailled to build?

I remember the name from school hymn books, and I believe his main thing was liturgical music (as it was perceived). Is he thought to have had neo-fascist leanings? (as opposed to the perpendicular democratic of the Tiller Girls)
I doubt it. He died in 1933, having written amongst other things music for both organ and harmonium. Try 7 pastels from the Lake of Constance op 96. He was thought (wrongly) to be Jewish and his name was included in the 1933 publication ABC of Jews in Music - he was labelled a "non-Aryan practitioner of music". |

Please excuse my Anty - but what (exactly!) is meant by 'worse for wear'?   |

Having read Baz's post I would like to say that I agree with him that I respond in a more emotional and impulsive way to members' comments. I apologise to those I may have offended. The test thread started and run so efficiently by Mr Grew is one of the best there has been in my opinion and I would hate to be, in however small a way, responsible for the souring of the atmosphere.

Thanks for that A - I'm pleased you feel the same way as I do. We can now hopefully move forward fully enjoying the company and diversion of a wonderful message board to its full. Baz xxx |

Indeed, Member Anty, but at the metropolitan end of the navigation these matrons sprang from the tiller 'mid the pea souper and reappeared mysteriously bespangled and high-kicking of a sunday evening at the Londinium Odordrome, where the musical directorship was shared briefly between Jack Parnell and Iannis Xenakis.
p.s. similarly to the Ossage rendering the word 'English' on first hearing as 'yankee', what does the phoneme'Karg-Elert' actually mean strained through hooch? Something like 'Pass the Port?'

what does the phoneme 'Karg-Elert' actually mean I think it means "mortal danger" (a misspelling of the Australian "cark alert"). In other words - stay away! it's a chorale prelude to disaster! |

Let me set the record straight by saying I do love some of Ravel's music, Daphnis et Chloé anyway. I just don't know that much of the rest of it and I haven't so far got on very well with what I do know. But I would have said that about numbers of other composers whose work I have subsequently made my way into, as attentive Members will be aware. I don't ever want to be in the position of being able to say "I know what I like". |

 Reading Member Marbleflugel's post about the Tiller Girls makes me wonder if They Have Found Jesus or are on a Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen? |

Tony, did you mean to leave titles attached to 155 and 156? (Happens to the best of us... ) Richard! Enough dilly-dallying! Where are your snatches? |

No I certainly didn't! I don't know how it happened because it worked yesterday. I just called the files puzzle 155 and puzzle 156. |

Reading Member Marbleflugel's post about the Tiller Girls makes me wonder if They Have Found Jesus or are on a Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen? I believe, Anty, that some bargees experienced conversion when struck by a stray tap shoe-akin to the origins of the Quakers. In the provincial try-outs it was sometimes necessary to kick the audience to restore order, not least after performances by Rafferty and his Marauding Accordions... |
