mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Raak

Mounting the Ox, slowly I return homeward. The voice of my flute intones through the evening. Measuring with hand-beats the pulsating harmony, I direct the endless rhythm. Whoever hears this melody will join me.

[Bismarck] (a round of applause!) Hm, should I award the prize? (Whispered conference with Mycroft, ending with Mycroft shaking his head.) The mineral thing is indeed the Golden Gate of Kiev (named golden only for the domes of a nearby church). But the words on the card name both this thing and an abstract thing which is not called the Golden Gate of Kiev.

Boolbar

Are we looking for a piece of music here?

I don't think it is anything to do with Chicken Kiev.

Raak

Astride the Ox, I reach home. I am serene. The Ox too can rest.

[Boolbar] We are indeed looking for a piece of music.

Bismarck

Gates, gold, Raak, Mussorgsky, all merge.

Raak

This heaven is so vast, no message can stain it.

Bismarck has it: The Great Gate of Kiev.
