... still lost.
My long-lost cruciverbial skills made me think that the 'litotes toilets' intro wd lead us to things anagrammatic, but an unsatisfactory Isoltte didn't make me very happy.
Is it : "take us away from a memorial, - to another possibility" or "take us away from a 'memorial to another possibility' ... " ??

So, here's the reasoning.
We do indeed get Introit.
Stravinsky wrote his Introitus, which satisfies the first part of the clue, as ferney has explained.
We take us away and get Introit, which is both the first item of the proper of the mass (hence proper starter) and a regular feature in the listings on the CE thread.
I was hoping that this one was easy enough to draw teamsaint in, but he's probably been on the road all day!
