Isn't the selection of photo displaying a wonderful sense of of relevancy?

Klaus, that's what we here would call "a pig in a poke".

Cheers,

Not being fully aware about the semantic content of poke I went to http://dict.leo.org/ which is better than any English-Danish online dictionary, I have found so far. The first response to poke was wonderful:

hawaiianischer Fischsalat  (Hawaiian fish salad)

How to hide a pig in that substance? Maybe the most recent Pacific explorer of the list has gained experience in that area?

Further down the composed entries revealed, that the Danish equivalent of your saying would be "katten i sækken".

Hello everyone, just wondering if anyone could help me with the instrumentation of Holst’s Planets?

If not, then at least the clarinet family?  Any clarinets other then soprano Bb?  Any alto?  Or contra clarinets?

Thanks a lot

Willy

Hi Willy,

The editions I've played were scored for 2 sopranos and 1 bass.  Sadly, I have yet to perform it with a bass oboe or Heckelphone in the orchestra, I played the cues on bass clarinet.

Take care,

Bradley P. Stevens
