The message
from "Mike" contains these words:

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 one, if I remember correctly, was used as part of a theme tune, played
years ago on a Children's TV Programme, something to do with "Mrs Black and
her horrible Handbag"

I'd think that was unlikely - I don't think it was performed until
sometime round 1970, mainly because of its vast scale, BICBW.

Whenever I see Maggie Thatcher she always seemed to have a horrible handbag
and it rang bells :-))

Musique concrète, Shirley?

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?

contains these words:

It would be much more fun to torture the neighbour.
Messiaen composed some organ music whuch is totally
cacophonous. The music becomes even more strident and
formless if you are in a position to play it through a
setup
which allows you to switch off the woofer speaker.. The
occupiers of a certain nearby house was in the habit of
playing moronic pop loudly in their garden, until I
started
annoying them by playing Messiaen organ music in mine
even
more loudly, as organ music should be played.

Me too. Think I'll just put an Einaudi CD on and chill.

Aaaah, that's better.
