Apologies, twas intended as a witty and pithy counterpoint to the preceding 'Why not...' ... I guess the internet sometimes doesn't do 'wit and pith' too well

The luckiest of lucky stabs in checking all 3 I saw Naples/Naopli but my coleslaw will probably not be up to the standard demanded by the returning Anna.....
Poulenc Napoli Suite for Piano
Then we get thin bits of dry celery.....
Liszt had Venezia e Napoli and
Haydn Notturni for the King of Naples
Not up to O level standard possibly...?Comment

My grandma used to bounce me up and down on her knee and sing this old music hall song:Originally posted by antongould View Post
Oh! Oh! oh Antonio
Left me alone-ee-o,
I want to meet him with his new sweetheart
Then up will go Antonio and his ice-cream cart!!
And then, she'd fling me up in the air!! And, of course, I would shriek with joy whilst being terrified I would not be caught!
Happy Days.
What strange memories that brought back of being about 2 years old!
Sorry, terribly offtopic. Apologies. It was the combination of Anton and O that brought it on.Comment

Requiem 1
Sang left handedComment

Now the music of Ockeghem I know very well. I've sung a lot of it and studied all the masses.Originally posted by antongould View Post
"Ma bouche rit" is a chanson of his.
His requiem I think is now more regarded as the earliest surviving polyphonic setting of the requiem mass rather than the first, I think there may be references to other requiems in some manuscripts. Whatever, it's a wonderful piece of music.
He was left handed.Comment
