[Dermot]

For a clichéd, parodic view of the composer in part two, visualise a perfect summer's day, the sound of leather on willow, the cathedral in the background and the Severn flowing gently nearby.

Funeral?

Funeral?

Yes, I think so. (I'd worked out the same before I saw your post.)

Funeral March for the final scene of Hamlet by Berlioz.
Incidental Music and Funeral March for Diarmid and Grania by Elgar.
Marcia funèbre, sulla morte d'un Pappagallo by Alkan

Funeral March for the final scene of Hamlet by Berlioz.
Incidental Music and Funeral March for Diarmid and Grania by Elgar.
Marcia funèbre, sulla morte d'un Pappagallo by Alkan

I’d worked out the first two!

[Dermot]

Yes, I think so. (I'd worked out the same before I saw your post.)

Funeral March for the final scene of Hamlet by Berlioz.
Incidental Music and Funeral March for Diarmid and Grania by Elgar.
Marcia funèbre, sulla morte d'un Pappagallo by Alkan

Correct in all details. Diarmid and Grania was a play written by Yeats and George Moore for which Elgar wrote incidental music including a Funeral March. I think the Berlioz is one of his greatest works.

I'll leave it to the person who has sufficient energy left, and who wants to do it, to choose a G.

What links a (former) Cambridge Director of Music, an opera by "Bach", and Gunter Wand and Mark Elder (amongst others) at the BBC?

George Guest was Director of Music at Cambridge.
Messrs Elder and Wand were both Principal Guest Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
It looks as though you've guest correctly!
I've no idea about the 'Bach'.

The quotes round Bach suggested the extraneous family member PDQ; I'm pretty sure that you'll find your answer there!

Indeed ...... and should Guest be correct more than happy for you to set the H rathers as I have, I find, a busy day .......

Indeed you will. As the team have noted:

George Guest was a long-standing Director of Music at St John's College, Cambridge.
The Stoned Guest is an opera by PDQ Bach.
Gunter Wand and Mark Elder were both Principal Guest Conductors of the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

Let's see what's Hidden for H.
