Alphabet Associations - III

(Besides I was too busy working on my influential ‘St. Umped’ gag … )

Which was well worth waiting for.

[AuntDaisy]

You've given me the confidence to go for the Buffet-Sainte-Marie, which will of course include a Waldorf Salad with extra walnuts.

... and served to Harry Hamilton at Flay Otters?

BTW I found this nutty song on YouTube.

[LMcD]

My sainted Aunt has just pointed out that the perfect accompaniment to my buffet would have been a bottle of Saint-Emilion.

[AuntDaisy]

St. Ap me vitals! The menu is nominally a big clue. Nearly as big as a picture of him with his name engraved round the edge!
I might add it's a hard nut to crack.

French frank, would this be an engraving of the said, nutty Saint?


Is it Christophe Le Menu de Saint-Philbert?

... who was a music publisher ... great detective work, Aunt Daisy!

[french frank]

Congratulations, Aunt D - Saint-Philbert was the 'hard nut to crack'

So the 'not wholly different' composers are three saints:

1. Saint-Saëns began his famous Carnaval des animaux with a lionisation: the Royal March of the Lions

2. Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges was not in fact an Englishman, sir! and should perhaps should have been a knight of Saint-Denis.

3) The hardest nut to crack was Christophe Le Menu de Saint-Philbert, more of a publicist/publisher, but he knocked out a cantata or two, especially the short ones known as cantatailles.

Number three was the desperated add-on. I discovered him so I thought he would be easier to find. Who's for T? Tapiola? Aunt Daisy? Or a volunteer with a good idea?

Thanks for the clues french frank, that was fun to find.

I have a T if Tapiola or a volunteer doesn't mind...

oi! Bad form supplying misinformation halfway through -

He is a Sainte rather than a Saint.

hardly slept last night...

A misapprehension? My comment was a direct reply to Lord Gould who had suggested Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe (a Sainte), not to Saint-Philbert.

I read it that 'he is a Sainte' referred to the person we were seeking. You may call it 'misapprehension' : I call it lethal ambiguity.

I am T-less, so go for it, AuntDaisy.

Thanks Tapiola.

Which sedate T now omits Kirby Muxloe & Armley Moor, but, in 1936, was a rapid post-day jaunt, and exactly a century earlier included, in time, three quarters of Vienna to Břeclav?
Can you name the three composers & two writers?

I'm thinking the sedate T is 'The Slow Train' by Flanders & Swann but hit the buffers after that!

[hmvman]

Ah, if the T is train, is the 1936 post-day jaunt 'Night Mail' by Auden with music by Britten?

Well done hmvman, it is Slow Train & Night Mail.
