I’m sure it will soon be ‘gorn’.

An extra Christmas gift that might help with the 'S' in post 937.
I don't think too much was lost in translation.

Are the years quoted years of birth?

[AuntDaisy]

Are the years quoted years of birth?

Or death?
E.g. Harry Rowe Shelley died in 1947. But I'm struggling for anyone else.
Back to the Christmas day festivities...

Are the years quoted years of birth?

No. For the record

Well out of my depth here... Harry Hosono & The World Shyness "Flying Saucer" 1947?

[crb11]

I’m sure it will soon be ‘gorn’.

Exactly! Well done LMcD. And I apologise for anyone earwormed.

Is it something to do with Christmas Songs - Harry Belafonte, Bobby Darin and Stevie Wonder.

[crb11]

Thanks to cloughie, I found what I assume is the answer. The Charles Trenet song Beyond the Sea was recorded by Harry James and his Orchestra in 1947, Bobby Darin in 1959 and Stevie Wonder in 1964. If there's a Christmas connection I'm not seeing it.

Originally recorded in French as La Mer, but not too much was lost in translation when sung in English as 'Beyond The Sea' by Harry, Bobby and Stevie. (No Christmas connection was intended or to be inferred).

It looks as if it's time for T.

[crb11]

Ok.What T links three composers, one surprisingly multilingual for his time, a Spaniard whose music you might think was English, and a third who didn't write their most famous work?

Is 3 Tomaso Albinoni

[crb11]

It is! Hopefully that will help you find the other two.

Tomás Luis de Victoria?

[crb11]

Indeed. And the third? (This one genuinely is English.)

[crb11]

Time for a hint? Multilingual in the sense they wrote music set in different languages in a way their contemporaries didn't, and probably wouldn't have got away with.
