Hi Ms. RoJo,

You've got me beat, I'm sorry to say. How about a hint on the composer, pretty please with whip cream and a cherry on top...

Cheers,

Well, one more hint about the painting first, then I'll start giving hints about the composer.

Think of a character of mime...

Erm, pardon?

[Corno Dolce]

Sorry to say but you've got me there, sister RoJo.

I gotta admit, the first thing that came to my mind is also Pagliaccio... And I really dont have anything else...

So come on, sista, it is now more than one that you are driving out of their mind we wanna know!!!

Alrighty then, a composer hint now; the composer of the associated piece of music in question has already had a work of his featured in this thread...

[Corno Dolce]

Cavalleria Rusticana would be my next guess since it is quite often performed together with Pagliaccio.
In the *Cavalleria* the lead male role is Turiddu. The music for both opera's is written by Leoncavallo/Mascagni.

The painter of the canvas confounds me, although.

[rojo]

Well, I guess I'll have to give more clues.

The piece of music is by Schoenberg. The name of the painting, which is by Jean-Antoine Watteau, is half the name of the piece. Hence the association...

[Corno Dolce]

Hi Ms. RoJo,

Could it be *Pierrot Lunaire*?

Cheers,

CD

[rojo]

Correct answer!

You've got it CD!

And the name of the painting is Pierrot. (Not Lunaire. )

What a beautiful galaxy! Have you viewed my thread on astronomy?
I have one waiting for someone to answer it.

Hmm. Could it be "Galaxies" by Urmas Sisask? I know you mentioned that work earlier in this thread. I haven't heard that one.

Or is now the time for Holst's The Planets? lol

[Ouled Nails]

I'll try the modern rendition of Also Sprach Zaratoustra/r. strauss.

[Corno Dolce]

I'll start giving hints: The composer finished the piece in 1974.
