      Totally correct - I did consider Dawn but too cheeky after my use of it in my dubya.

      Ease yourself into the next one ferney.

        So, to dish out the coleslaw:

        D for Down.

        Ralph Vaughan Williams: Down Ampney - his birth place, and the name he gave to his Music for the hymn "Come Down Oh Love Divine";
        Aaron Copland: Hoe Down from his ballet Rodeo;
        Rick Parfitt (& Frances Rossi): Down, Down, as recorded by their popular beat combo, "Status Quo" in 1974.


        Moving on, the last word in tricky quickies:

        An E to connect Igor Stravinsky, Graham Waterhouse, and Bronius Kutavicius

                Come on, guys!
                I'd never heard of the latter two composers either, but a spot of Googling confirmed my suspicion!
                Thought I'd sit this one out, though.

                  With your nome de plume, you're just being pergo lazy.

                  Go for it you may be a long time gone!

                    OK.
                    E is for Epitaphium.

                    Stravinsky: Epitaphium (Für das Grabmal des Prinzen Max Egon zu Fürstenberg).
                    Waterhouse: Epitaphium In Memoriam W.R.W.
                    Kutavicius: Epitaphium temporum pereunti.

                      It is, indeed ... and with perfectly creamy coleslaw:

                      Stravinsky: Epitaphium (Für das Grabmal des Prinzen Max Egon zu Fürstenberg).
                      Waterhouse: Epitaphium In Memoriam W.R.W.
                      Kutavicius: Epitaphium temporum pereunti.


                      ... and, no - I hadn't either.

                      Foreward with the Frolics, therefore ...

                        Precious metal in the hands of a knight, this mechanical F is a co-soloist.

                          That could be a Ferrier?

                            Could be, as she is a co-soloist, in Das Lied, for example, but that is not the answer!
                            (Were you also thinking of the mechanical aspect of being a ferrier though? There is a similar(ish) association that you should be looking for.)

                              Yes. And ferrous (although that isn't precious). Glad you saved me fruitless searching.

                                Can't for the life of me think what the 'mechanical F' could be though....
                                "...the isle is full of noises,
                                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
