Dstring

A composer called AVRO had fame
And yes, it was PART of his name
You may now be greeting*
And say I am cheating
Please take it as part of the game



Greeting - a Scots word for crying.

Bizet is the name
Opera is the game
I'm French, bet you thought I was from Spain.
because of Carmen
ha ha ha, I laughed like a drain.

Chopin is that bloke
Who didnt like Egg Yolk
He was shoppin'
But not choppin'!

OK, what rhymes with Dvorak...

Must it be the same composer already mentioned or will another do?

Don't think anyone set any rules.

Do a different composer. Preferably one with a name that'll rhyme better than Dvorak

Dvorak visited the USA
But did he treat it as a holiday?
No, no! He collected every tune he heard
And created a symphony "From the New World".

You got there first! Here is my D anyway.

A composer called Donizetti
Was rather too fond of spaghetti.
One day he ate lots
And came out in spots
Then he burst and turned into confetti.

Elgar was a clever fellow,
He wrote a concerto for the cello,
It sounded really rather mellow,
er...
that's all I can think of

Finzi lived near Newbury.
He conducted Newbury Symphony
And wrote for clarinet and voice.
His Bagatelles are really choice!

There once was a man called Grieg
Who was in a different league
His Lyrics pieces, what a treat
To perform them, is quite a fete!
From the man which caused intrigue

There was a composer called Handel,
Who worked by the light of a candle,
The candle fell down,
Burned his sonata dark brown,
That's the last time he worked with a candle!

The once was a lad called ibert
With the ladies he was quite a flirt
but noone would love him
so somebody shoved him
and he landed face down in the dirt

Joplin wrote many a rag,
as often he would brag.
These interesting creations,
have chords and syncopation.
You either love them or hate them.

There once was Khachaturian
Who often composed in the dorian
With his famous Sabre Dance
A huge hit in italy and france
and even the sunny carribean

The once was a man called Franz Liszt,
Whose pieces used to consist,
Of dreams of love,
And Rhapsodies tough,
That so many pianists resist.

There once was a lad called Mussorgsky
Who'd often go on a composing spree
His music was fast
For years it will last
Waltzes in One two three

There is a composer called Nyman,
Whose parents ought to have to called Simon,
but lacked sense of humour,
And now there's a rumour:
He lives in a shed with a bison.

The once was a composer called Orff
Whom many thought resembled a dwarf
His life was so troubled
His height never doubled
This little old man from the north
