the rev Richd: Coles

Yes

Between you, you have named all three - the conductor, the composer and the instrumentalist.

[AuntDaisy]

Conductor Georges Prêtre?

Well done french frank.

New to me; and, as both you & vinteuil already knew, I've finally found out what his name means.

... and so ....?

[AuntDaisy]

Vinteuil & french frank solved the trickier parts and deserve the credit.

Priest
Vivaldi was known as the Red Priest.
Richard Coles is a Priest.
Georges Prêtre's surname is Priest in French.

Thanks LMcD for an excellent puzzle.

But you solved the first bit as being Priest (and I'm too idle to take on Q - or R)

Hoist by my own petard. It may take time to ponder on quetzals & quarks...

[AuntDaisy]

Right, here goes nothing... and it might stretch the rules of spelling.

On the radio, how does part of a mediaeval manuscript, "Q", link to Janáček's mass.ive double protagonists & a.mass collect?

Given the comments about spelling and on the radio (= sounds like, so for example Kew?), do we assume that the peculiar 'Janáček's mass.ive double protagonists & a.mass collect' is deliberate?

Spot on.

The first answer does begin with a Q.

You're welcome! The former Communard's official website (still) describes him as the Reverend Richard Coles, so I assume that he's still a priest despite his recent retirement.

The first answer does begin with a Q.

Hello all, and thanks to Pulcinella for reviving this game!

This Q is fiendish. The most I can come up with is "Quia" for the first word ("Quia ergo femina" is a work by Hildegard of Bingen from the medieval R467r manuscript). On the radio, "quia" might sound like "choir" - a double chorus in Janacek's Glagolitic Mass. As for the 3rd element, totally stumped...

Well done - Choir is right, but you might need be less definite.

I was a bit naughty with the other two and they're not musical, although the clues are.

Wish I'd thought of Quia. It's not a specific manuscript, more a construct.

[Tapiola]

Quire for the first element? A folded medieval MS.

Brilliant, Tapiola. Quire is right, but be less definite.
