Mr Stephen Sondheim submits two anagrams
mainI’ve had an email from Mr Sondheim, submitting two self-anagrams. The first, which he credits to Jonathan Tunick, is
Sondheim = He opens the mind.
The other, anonymous, is:
Sondheim = He pens demon hits.
Hmmmm. Other notable contributions to best composer anagrams, ever.
From Jeremy Sams:
Elgar is of course regal and often large. Haydn , being efficient is handy… But Mozart being all embracing is Mr a to z.
And from Lowell Liebermann:
Camille Saint Saens = A Satanic Illness Me
Keep them coming. Andrew Lloyd Webber looks ripe for the ana-plucking.
Wally d’ wonder rebbe?
There are numerous anagram generators on the internet. I entered ‘Frederick Delius’ and the result was “Clef Dr. I reside UK”. I suppose any composer can be a clef dr; Delius may have been born in the UK and buried there, but in-between he preferred the USA.
NL adds: Very true. And he resided mostly in France. Don’t think he was a Dr, either.
Harry Birtwistle’s is my favourite…..’orrible warts n shit… no offense Harry!
