Clever Composer

[Nimrod]

Could you write 7 bars of music which include Pi as a decimal, as a fraction, and as a line from a nursery rhyme? Edward Elgar did.

See it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Enigma_theme.png

Pi, as a decimal, scale degree 3142, in the first four notes.

Pi, as a fraction, 22/7, by following his first 11 notes with two "drops of a seventh." This becomes 11 x 2/7 = 22/7.

Pi, the "dark saying" is reflected in the first 6 bars having exactly, Four and twenty blackbirds (black notes having slurs or ties) baked in his Pi.

Elgar wrote this in the year following the humorous incident of the Indiana Pi Bill of 1897 which attempted to legislate the value of Pi.

Elgar said this work was "begun in a spirit of humour."

Elgar was too clever and no one ever guessed his enigma. When he was 72 years old, he gave three more sentences, each has a hint at 22/7, and still no one solved his enigma. With these hints, can you solve it???????????/
