Well this probably on the wrong thread but what the heck. So I have been sat relaxing and listening to tonights prom which was Haydn's Creation and it set me thinking back to my time in an Abbey choir and then onto playing in orchestra's for choral societies. When the choir was rehersing for a performance of the Creation there is a part called 'The Heavens Are Telling' well when it came to sing the line 'displays the firmament' the junior choir started to sing 'dismissed her for a mint' well I have been chuckling about this for years. The movement which was also sung as an anthem in church services was then on known as 'The Mint Song'!!
