"Today is my one hundred and eleventh birthday: I am eleventy-one today!"
"Hurray! Hurray! Many Happy Returns!" they shouted, and they hammered joyously on the tables. Bilbo was doing splendidly. This was the sort of stuff they liked: short and obvious."

pim_derks,
This was really a good treat. I enjoyed it very much.
This is what I found about Diepenbrock:
Alphonsus Johannes Maria Diepenbrock (September 2, 1862 in Amsterdam – April 5, 1921) was a Dutch composer, essayist and classicist.
He studied classics at the University of Amsterdam, gaining his doctorate cum laude in 1888 with a dissertation in Latin on the life of Seneca. As a composer, he had been completely self-taught from an early age.
He created a musical idiom which, in a highly personal manner, combined 16th-century polyphony with Wagnerian chromaticism, to which in later years was added the impressionistic refinement that he encountered in Debussy's music.
His predominantly vocal output is distinguished by the high quality of the texts used. Apart from the Ancient Greek dramatists and Latin liturgy, he was inspired by, among others, Goethe, Novalis, Vondel, Brentano, Hölderlin, Heine, Nietzsche, Baudelaire and Verlaine.

Yes, that's all correct, tp. Especially Novalis and Nietzsche were very important to Diepenbrock. Wonderful music.

Happy Birthday to Mr Yorick, who deserves some more responses to the haul of goodies he put on the "watch and listen" thread over at music appreciation. No response there from me cos I'm still on dialup and you tube's a no go zone !
