Oh very well done ....

Volunteer work soon for me, so I hope it's not too presumptuous to carry on, even without Lat's confirmation.

Here we go again, with me starting with an A, as I did at the top of the thread.

This father figure appears in the second of a set of five (which was written as a fundraiser, apparently; I didn't know that previously!) and in an identically named sacred ballad written some ten years later (for which the composer needed help setting an unfamiliar language). A similarly named but different father figure had to have his words slightly modified (iirc) to enable a (quite bizzare and somewhat incongruous, to my ears) recording featuring a grocer's daughter.

Aare the emboldened (by myself) parenthetical bits parts of the clue, or can we (with all due respect, of course, and the best will in the world) ignore them?

And it sounds to me like a G String might be helpful?

Yes, please ignore the 'personal' interjections.
I'm pretty sure that the iirc is indeed the case, and it's not an iiri, though I haven't checked out that recording; I recall being both amused and horrified when I first heard it!
But the 'apparently' is not really conjecture, just highlighting something I didn't know about the piece.

However, I have modified the original posting, since the person referred to in the third part was not a founding father: humble apologies!

[Pulcinella]

You may well be right.

Ach! No - I've reached the Heights of stupidity. But have just been (literally) called out - shall reply around lunchtime if nobody else gets there first.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

You may well be right.

Not for the whole answer, aalas!

This father figure

Abraham

appears in the second of a set of five (which was written as a fundraiser)

Britten's second (of five) Canticles, Abraham & Isaac - initially written to help raise dosh for the English Opera Company.

and in an identically named sacred ballad written some ten years later (for which the composer needed help setting an unfamiliar language).

Stravinsky's Abraham & Isaac, written "for the people of Israel" to a Hebrew text, help with the pronunciation of which was given by Isiaah Berlin.

The Grantham citizen probably misunderstood which "Lincoln" was being "portrayed" in Copland's work. There are recordings of which I am Fonda.

Too easy (and apologies again for bringing personal reactions into the original wording)! My recollection is that Fellow Americans got changed to Fellow Citizens!

Get busy, ferney.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Too easy!

Not really - I went down a very attractive, and potentially useful, cul-de-sac which might prove useful in the future.

Get busy, ferney.

Brain engaged as we speak

Very well done.

Zeb was born Zebedee.

And Legrand here, of course, is not the obvious Legrand.

B - Right let's see if I can woo you variously with a disturbed wedding in Molinara for Little Red Riding Hood.
