I need a word for a title

[Jud]

You're right, it is a mode. You're memory is better than mine... wait, what age am I?

Also worryingly close to pubescence.

And you forgot churchspire.

not that worringly for me to be honest :-)

How about something like 'The Air of the Heart'?

Bit like 'hair of the dog' ?

[Jud]

I have Corasong in my head

I got there from;
The Air of the Heart
Heartsong
Corazón (spanish for heart)
Corasong to Anglify it. Shame Cora doesn't mean something airy but it is a euphemistic name of Persephone, and also means maiden.

Which is better than my first thought which was along the lines of 'Air Soul'.

That suggestion would have been poo-pooed.

[Lynda]

Uh oh. Katie's gonna have a fit when she wakes up in the morning and sees what you guys have done in her absence. Tsk tsk.

[Andy]

She started it.

I did think it was getting close to scraping the bottom.

[Kath]

Do you wish you'd never asked, Katie? ;)

[Karen]

In the story, one of the children mistakes the sound of the wind through the vents in the church steeple as the gods singing

Just a thought... but 'the gods singing' or 'The singing of the gods'?

How about using the word inspiration which means to breath in and can mean the action of moving someone to do something

So the title would be something like
Harmonic inspiration

?

[Belle]

Essence? Marrow? Fetch?

[Jud]

All the talk of breath and breathing got me thinking of singing/musical terms so what about:

Bel Canto: Beautiful singing
colla voce: with the voice
con somma passione: with great passion
con slancio: with enthusiasm
con spirito: with spirit; with feeling
gaudioso: with joy
innig: intimately, heartfelt
intimo: intimately
magico: magically
sospirando: sighing
spiritoso: spiritedly

[Kath]

con belto: give it some wellie

[Katie]

Ooh, Magico. Magico is a musical term? I never knew that. It might work. I've added that one to my list of definite possibilities.

Thanks everyone!

[Jud]

I'm guessing it's just italian for magically :o/

But yes it's a musical term :o)

'short skirtzo' a fast little piece (credited to the late Frank Muir)

Jim wrote: "'short skirtzo' a fast little piece (credited to the late Frank Muir)"

Not forgetting his erstwhile colleague Denis Norden's translation of 'la donna e mobile' as 'my bird's got a motorbike'.

And of course 'Nellie is the winner of our discount tint.'

I thought 'la donna e mobile' meant 'that kebab is still alive!'

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi = Gloria wants to stop travelling in the van on mondays

Chateauneuf Du Pape = Dad is fed up with looking at castles.

Sorry for further derailing this...

How about something like 'Canto Magico' for the book title then?
