Default FAQs re cats-can't find

The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these words:

annoying them by playing Messiaen organ music in mine

even
more loudly, as organ music should be played.


Try Le Merle Noir - with a flute shrieked by Zdenek

Brudehans.....

(Bit of a tautology, Merle Noir.....)


Perhaps they have albino blackbirds in his part of the
world?
Who composed it?


Olivier Messiaen.

Merle blanc = white crow, or (similar in translation to Juvenal's black
swan) a very rare bird.

And if you want any volume of an orgy of organ, see if you

can get a
recording of Havergal Brian's Gothic Symphony - scored for

(IIRC) triple
organ and double orchestra.....


That sounds like overkill. I'll do without it. {:-((


Nah. Overkill wrote pieces for the Hoffnung Music Festivals, didn't he?
