Honegger?

In any case, I want to jump in on the Johan birthday celebrations with a piece of my own, right answer or not.  ;D  For our esteemed friend's party I hired a troupe of dancers... only, who are they, and what are they dancing?

Thanks! I'll have a listen!


And I'll reconsider Parsifal's riddle, too, with all the new clues...

I guess we'll never know. :-\


So much for the big celebration in my honour... Come on, Parsifal! We've had overlapping riddles before!

I'd feel more rotten, but I was a lot ruder to the people in the airport this morning.  :( :(

It seems the thread is a bit frayed. I hope Parsifal returns. But knowing the score, Parsifal usually returns only after many years to the Grail knights... :-(

Anyone got Klingsor's cell phone number?

Incidentally, he was also a member who went away without a trace recently. :-\ Which other Wagnerian characters do we have on board?

Kundry's behind it, clearly.   :( 

In any case, maybe they were one and the same.  Keep an eye open for Gurnemanz registering soon.

No, it's Amfortas this time.

The answer to my mystery music is: Manuel de Falla - Homenajes: Fanfare sobre el nombre de E.F. Arbos

Dude, why would you want to drag yourself around the place with an oozing wound, whining about how they took your spear away?  Gurnemanz is a much better gig!   :)

I love to wallow in misery  :-X ....just wait till I get another chance at the mystery clip  ;D

Besides, Gurnemanz talks way too much  :-\

Wow, that's not the musical language I associate with Falla at all.  :o

I'm willing to hand in the keys to my puzzle for Amfortas to get his second shot if he likes

Oh god...we have another schizoid personality on the forum. Why, oh why, can't people stay with one name, one avatar? At least Klingsor/Parsifal/Amfortas is sticking to one theme. Let's hope he doesn't try to impersonate a Syrian lesbian next  ;D

Mahler, you ought to go see it.

True, the lively Falla fanfare is not Amfortas-like

Well, if nobody else has anything right now, I can certainly comply with a new mystery clip:

Dedicated to Sgt Rock  ;D

It sounds kind of like Mahler's 10th...

Not Mahler, but in general this composer's music does have Mahler-like qualities
