How about concordia discors?

By the way, I've much enjoyed your postings about the chalk figures and place names in England. Thanks for sharing.

If what I posted is not what you're looking for, let me know and I'll ask my brother, who is a composer and Latin scholar. His Latin is not near as rusty as mine is!

And thanks for the compliment - I've read quite a few of your postings, and appreciate your appreciation.

I've found another titbit about the Giant, which the writer didn't realise might have the significance it seems to. Coming later.

From my brother: heterophony.

From my dictionary: the simultaneous performance of the same melodic line, with slight individual variations, by two or more performers

And the comedians try to get huge numbers of the populace involved in doing silly things to raise money, which appeals particularly to children. They then have a marathon comedy evening on TV, seeking pledges for celebrities to do silly things, which late in the evening gets rather adult. The money goes to help relieve poverty in Africa and in the UK as well, and it's well known for most of the money going for what it's raised for. This year their dratted red noses had hooters in them, and the children found out that these came out, and they were blowing through them like a bunch of Punches with swozzles. Hard to teach, though. And someone's left red greasepaint on my computers in the IT suite! My year had written parodies of verses of the Cutty Wren (which mentions red noses), which we sang in assembly, despite being asked to stop - there were a lot of verses, and because the tune is rather complex in the intervals it uses, neither of us teachers had got it quite right, nor wrong in the same way. Hence the heterophony!
