Kiss your what? - is that a euphemism?
No. it's the title of a musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter
What's the connection between Pacific 231 (msg 323) and the Bach Motet 231.....oh... :doh: just got it.....I'll fetch me coat....

Mahler's song of the cuckoo and the nightingale "Lob des hohen Verstandes"
Elgar:- Praise to the Holiest, Dream of Gerontius.
A slightly obscure connection perhaps- anybody got it?
Since nobody seems to have posted the connection: shortly before the triumphant chorus of "Praise to the Holiest", as presages of it swirl about, Gerontius sings:- (remember we were in an arboreal segment at the time!)
The sound is like the rushing of the wind -
The summer wind - among the lofty pines.
Meanwhile, in response to Roehre, post 385:-
