Well done. You've covered everything now.
Bambi is the story of a young deer whose mother was killed by a deer hunter.
The Deer Hunter is a 1978 Oscar winning film with a theme tune called Cavatina played by John Willams
The Cavatina Chamber Music Trust is an organisation aiming to help young people to get to know and like chamber music.
Beethoven's Op 130 string quartet has a cavatina movement. Before it is a German dance, while the Grosse Fuge follows.
Mozart's "Se vuol ballare" from the Marriage of Figaro is a cavatina.
Now we can start the D.

And the voice of Alfred Deller. I had never heard a counter-tenor before I discovered a record of Deller's among my girlfriend's collection. I see myself sitting alone on the floor of her living room one sunstruck morning listening to that unearthly voice singing Campion's "Never Weather Beaten Sail" and feeling my scalp tingle and my palms go damp from the effect of such ease, such purity, such transcendent beauty

Indeed Angle - we arrived around 6pm Saturday, glorious weather.... After a late night, emerging late morning Sunday saw the end of the cloud and Sunday afternoon was quite glorious, late lunch al fresco around the Albert Dock, Liverpool really showing herself to tremendous advantage.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Oh bother… I keep telling myself to leave this thread alone. If you wouldn’t mind waiting for awhile, I’ll try think up an E question.
Talking about Deller, I would love to know what Tippett thought about the voice when he first heard it.
As we are on the subject, here is a reminder for anyone who will be in the area:
