      I'll take that as a string of NOs then.

      Not linked to another of your educational institutions is it?

                Nobody marrying up the clues, eh, AG?

                You must have had a LOT of weeds, BTW.

                      am I wrong to suppose that the Elisabeth is our very own Twelve tone Lizzie. ( and shouldn't that be Twelve Tone Lissie?)

                        Probably not: Lutyens Epithalamion for soprano and organ, to words by Spenser.
                        Well done, ts!

                        What's with the Brexit hint, ag?

                          Well I feel we are as good as sorted ... aided by the new ts impish interjections ......
                          Of the necessary 7 I think we have 6

                          The S is Edmund Spenser

                          The composers and inspirations

                          Elisabeth Lutyens - Epithalamion
                          Maurice Greene - Amoretti

                          which leaves Ina Boyle lacking in inspiration .... she it seems composed a piece entitled Colin Clout recalling Spenser's Colin Clouts Come Home Againe ....

                          I think pulcers deserves the mug of tea .....

                            You might be boiling for a cuppa, but I'm Boyling! I had assumed it wasn't Boyle, but I had found the Spencer link

                            Mever mind, I'm having a cuppa T too!
