      So not Flagstad then, which doesn't surprise me as I couldn't find any confirmation of roles for her that quite suited.

        You are rather too far north. Anyway she wouldn't get a from me!

        It's not always a surname

            Ornithologically speaking, I don't believe the species was specified

                          I was wondering that too.
                          Can't find evidence of Frederica having been the Waldvogel yet, though it's good thought.

                          (Just back from a memorial service for a choir member who died recently after an 18-month battle [yes it was; I hate the euphemism journey] with cancer. Huge turnout, which was a testimony both to her and to the average age of the choir members, in that so many of us are retired and free on a Monday afternoon. She had chosen the music: Parsons Ave Maria, Poston Jesus Christ the apple tree, Stanford Nunc dimittis in C, and two good hymns. A nice celebration of her life.)
