        It's John Adams.

        I didn't have to do any digging.

        It was that situation where you walk away and think of something else and it suddenly dawns on you.

        To be frank, I was a bit surprised that Hovhaness - a name which for some reason I always find difficult to spell - had much time to compose anything other than symphonies!

            The Bee Gees are the Gibbs with a song called "Massachusetts" (another word I find difficult to spell).

            Lenny B composed music for a 1950 production of "Peter Pan". He was from and/or in Massachusetts.

            John Adams from Massachusetts composed a saxophone concerto (as did Alan Hovhaness apparently).

            I could well be wrong but I hope I'm right! I wasn't intending to take part in this question - but I did!!!

                He would have been - wait for it - 72 on Christmas Day.

                The mind boggles!

                      A bit clunky - and that is not a clue:

                      What N connects:

                      A soundtrack from a writer who once recorded impressions on a work by "Camus" which disappointed an American President
                      A pop record once banned by the BBC - ostensibly by its classical music establishment
                      A vocal work by Robert Schumann.......the words to which for some harsher critics are not worthy of the music he composed?

                      (whoops - slightly amended - still early in the morning)

                        It might be time for some clues.

                        The soundtrack is 1964-65 and I would call it jazz.

                        (The impressions by the same writer were in 1962).

                        The pop record is 1962.

                        The Schumann work is 1840s.

                          Should I give them the President?

                          I think I will..........it's Obama!
