No, but it is someone whose surname (no D) is often confused with Alonso's.

I've always thought of Juan del Encina as a poet, but I see he was also a composer. Is he the connection with woods? Encina? No, I didn't really think so

Sadly not.
I suspect the woods might have Latin roots.

Duarte Lobo c 1565-1646 (not Alonso Lobo)? He's almost Hispanic, being Portuguese And Leonora Duarte (1610-1678?) But it can't be either of them because they're not actually Hispanic. More red herrings. And what is the piece of music?

Duarte Lobo is spot on.

Portia's middle casket wasn't golden, I hear. The tent was of biblical proportions.

I was searching among the Silvas without much luck.

The tent was of biblical proportions.

Something to do with Africa, but what? More thought.

This reminds me of R4's Round Britain Quiz. (Which left me equally baffled but full of admiration for the contestants).

I wonder whether the piece of music might be a requiem mass - Pro Defunctis? Duarte Lobo composed one.

You're nearly there with Silva, but it needs a D. He died before D Lobo was born.

Palestrina wrote a beautiful mass based on this text & an earlier motet. But unscholarly Tallis didn't.

Unfortunately, I don't think D Lobo did write a version of this piece, it was just the other composer (sadly, I couldn't get Palestrina to fit in).

I used to struggle with RBQ, even after the answers.

Andreas De Silva fl c 1520?

Now I'm really foxed!

Well done. That's both composers.

Presto Music has:

The tents of Kedar? Song of...

Don't forget

Like pulling hens' teeth, isn't it? I'm totally missing Ds - The Dong of Dolomon? (But also the Dsalms). Ties in with Palestrina but ... Dorian mode?

Sorry, the D is in the composer's names. My bad.

The piece of music has a Latin title that derives from a biblical text (Song of Solomon) that has the tents of Kedah near the beginning.
It's one of my favourite & oldest Tallis Scholars CDs (not that that really helps.)
Lhéritier, Palestrina & Victoria also appear with their settings. The Presto Music link might help.

Ooh, can I be Victoria CM? Not sure I can do the Michael P stories, though.
