Greetings, Blog Readers and Foodies.
Here is our third of four clues in our inn-made granola to your door contest. (PS: I just had a bowl of yogurt and our granola for mid-afternoon "dessert." It always chases away the sweet tooth cravings!)
Inn at Long Lake's Gazelle Room will be re-named on April 28, 2009, honoring one of American's treasured composers. This gentleman's life was cut short at age 38 due to a brain tumor inflicted by a golf ball hitting his head earlier in life (youch!). Composing many songs with his brother, his gifts to the great American songbook define us and bring us such joy. I am so honored to have this man become a part of this beautiful inn!
Here are some clues:
1. As a young musician, classical composer Maurice Ravel was approached by our subject "personality" for instruction. Ravel declined knowing this composer had a unique composition point of view that he did not want to change by being his mentor.
While in Europe, this composer wrote about his experience in France--and became one of his most known compositions.
2. The Gazelle Room has a great view of Long Lake. It might be summed up in two "words": S'wonderful, s'marvelous.
3. Jazz and classical music were composed by this personality. One of his favorite works has a memorable upwards glissando on the clarinet.
Hope these clues help. Keep your 4-week list to be submitted between April 14-21, 2009!
Keep checking the inn blog for news, views, and tips from the inn kitchen!
