Thanks for doing the "Q" Rojo ... on to "R"

[rojo]

Ok, I`ll take the 'u'-

Thank you, thank you, Rojo for taking the 'u' letter ... :grin: I was completely stumped on that one

[robmcw]

Ahh, a great Canadian organist,

Healey Willian

 

[rojo]

I could be wrong rob, but isn`t it Healey Willan, without the other 'i'?

I can`t find any Canadian 'x' composer anywhere , so we`ll move along to 'y'-

Gayle Young

Into microtonality...

The next poster gets 'z', and gets to pick the next country, which would start with 'd'. Hmm...

 

[robmcw]

You are correct rojo. In my haste to get this superb composer/organists'
name on the list, I lost my bearings.

 

[rojo]

Actually, I found the name spelled with the extra 'i' around the net as well, so...

Ben Neill

 

[rojo]

You`re welcome to play along, pizza, but if you read the thread, you`ll see that the next post is supposed to be a Canadian composer whose last name starts with 'z'...

 

[robmcw]

Maurice Zbriger (1896-1981) Composer, violinist

 

[robmcw]

Oops! I forgot a country. Hmm either Denmark or the Dominican Republic,
How bout' Denmark?

 

[rojo]

Okey dokey; Denmark it is! (it does seem the appropriate choice here...)-

Joachim Andersen

[Krummhorn]

Robmcw, thanks for the 'z' entry ... Hooray!! On to Denmark!!

Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707)

 

[pizza1512]

You`re welcome to play along, pizza, but if you read the thread, you`ll see that the next post is supposed to be a Canadian composer whose last name starts with 'z'...

Sorry...

 

[Krummhorn]

Hey Pizza, we are a forgiving group ...

We list composers names, (by last name is listed in alpha A-Z order) within each selected country, which is also in alpha a-z order.

We started with America, went on to Belgium, Canada, and now Denmark. After we finish going A-Z with Denmark, we will move on to a country whose name begins with an E.

Feel free to join in the fun here :grin:
