It is the Tempest symphonic poem by Tchaikovsky!

I have it! Hugo Wolf is the Wagner arranger! And Wolf-Ferrari is there, too!

No, I'm just being mischievous. It's not Schumann, or Tchaikovsky. Another who attempted drowning.

It's an Italian rampant horse if that helps.

My good man, I know nothing about horse, Italian, rampant, or otherwise.

Congratulations, Luke! Your little boy turned 4, this Bloomsday, iirc...

Yes, that's right! Might have to dig out some kind of Joycean score in his honour. (Of course he really appreciates such musico-literary japes, as should any self-respecting four-year-old)

;D Matyas (spelling?) Seiber, Ulysses, would be apt... Or Moeran's setting of Chamber Music poems.

Here's one:

LO 303

Seeing as my remaining ones have almost gone - the Wolf and the Theo Ysaye are left to identify, but that oughtn't be too hard; the name 'Wolf-Ferrari' needs to be attached to one of the remaining ones and then the piece identified, also not too hard I think; apart from that only one left, plus the Joycean new one - would anyone want any more? A set from the other end of the alphabet this time - I have them ready....

J.Z. Herrenberg

I think I am the only one here... I suggest you do it tomorrow. Perhaps a bit fairer, too, on the others.

Looks like one of those Cagey I-Ching thingies.

I'm still here. But let me post a few too, as soon as I can.

Don't worry, wasn't suggesting doing it now! I'm off to bed in a minute - the birthday parties of small children to tend to take it out of one!

Yes, of course - the first thing I thought of when looking for Joyce. This one 'sets' various syllables from the last lines of Finnegan's Wake. Care to be more specific about the title? It's just a generic one, and I wouldn't worry about the precise number allocated to this piece. (Somehow I don't think you will!)

Please do! Only let me echo Johan - could you wait till there's more people around?

OK - off to bed.

I know... Goodnight!

Bed? it's only 8:15 in the evening here. But I need some time to gather up a few scores and scan them anyway. Maybe tomorrow night.

Hey, Chrone - isn't your second new one from Hermann's score to Vertigo?
