      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louys
      Ah yes, I thought I'd heard the name - Debussy's Chansons de Bilitis were poems by him.

      Rum cove if you ask me...
      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                      Nice work, ams!

                      Wand also wrote a concertino for soprano and chamber orchestra called "Odi et Amo" (courtesy of Wiki).

                        Bang On Am

                        Wand also composed music, mostly songs with orchestral accompaniment and music for ballet. One composition was his concertino "Odi et amo", for soprano and chamber orchestra, which Wand wrote for his wife, the soprano Anita Westhoff.[3] Anita Wand (Westhoff) died on December 29, 2009 at Ulmiz (CH) at the age of 89 years.

                        Hope my or rather Googles translation of Odi et amo is not too far off the mark X/Y/Z/A whatever to your most excellent self

                              Just tuned back in, cracking stuff by l'amateur!

                              I was hoping you'd have a go at my earlier "V" - were you otherwise engaged?

                              And bravo for engaging with the troublesome "X" letter... let's see...
