:D No, but I wish I had thought of that. It would have been a classic diversion indeed!  :)

If that had been from The Lion King, my estimation of Disney would uptick sharply ; )

I have actually thrown a couple of clews out there for y'all. They were subtle, but hey, that's just me.   :)

"I was sure that Sarge would get it though."


"At least I didn't pick a composer that no one has ever heard of before...     0:) "

"Neal, you're breakin' my heart. You don't think I would let you down, do you?  ;) "

"Well, you're making some progress. please don't give up, I want you here for the surprise ending. :)"



Subtle indeed. Time to call in Adrian Monk  :D


Sarge
the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
                               --Charles Bukowski, "Mahler"

Well, I want to give everyone a chance at it before puking out the answer, so maybe a broader clue would be in order.

For all of you who know me,
the answer must be one of three.

For those of you who know me well
this hero sent a man to hell.

The MSPCA wish it known that they do not condone the practice of plucking puppies. Carry on.

Thanks Karl

I am guessing Hans Werner Henze: Die Weisse Rose....?

Gurn Blanston

Those are wonderful guesses all, but so sadly wrong. I will come back in 40 minutes and post the answer if it hasn't been guessed already. I am prepared for incredulity. :)

OK, well I am so sad to see it has come to this.

Watch it and weep. It is a cantata, BTW, the original K1 # was 429, but now it is K 468a.  :)

I reckoned you were counting on inspiring incredulity.  I'd be stunned if it's something in my own library, though I rather suspect not.

Oh contraire, tres cher ami. I actually sent this to you in a little Mozart sampler about 4 years ago. I wanted you to hear how radical the lad could get.   :)   You were the one person I was afraid would get it since I knew you had it.

Never heard of him.

Not your favorite, I know. You would have preferred Karl was right and it was Lucchesi! :D

But . . . it does not match the music which is available as K429 at IMSLP . . . .

Mn Dave

Are you sure that's by Mozart? I think someone's pulling a fast one on you, Gurn. Or they've slowed down the recording.  ;D

I was merely matching your 'never heard of him'. :)
