      Anyway, if I may, I invite you to find a T that links Beethoven, Hoddinott, Holmboe, Rihm and Zwilich (among others).
      When AA first started we normally worked from Triples.

        I'm not sure whether you're commenting on the format of the question or you've sussed out the answer - it it's the latter, please elaborate! (If it's the former, any 3 of the 5 will lead you to the answer, but I'd rather leave Beethoven in as people might like to encounter a former PM on their way to the solution).

          Any 3 of the 5 will lead you to the same solution.
          All wrote a Triple Concerto for Violin, Cello, Piano, and Orchestra.

              Can you find a U to link a saintly lady, Joseph's younger brother, and Hallé's successor?

                      Michael Haydn gave the world Missa in honorem Sancta Ursulae which I think means Saintly Ursula and Halle’s successor Frederic Hymen Cowen wrote St. Ursula in 1881 .........

                              Who could be described as a "sainly lady" among composers?

                                Hildegard von Bingen: : Cum Vox Sanguinis, hymn for Saint Ursula & her Companions


                                ... and a special mention for there having been no reference to Ralph Vaughan Williams.

                                I think the Carpaccio of the Dream of St Ursula was a particular favourite of Ruskin -
