I just feel rather guilty about last night, leaving Caliban in the lurch.
OK, I think your N (sorry, forget how to do umlauts) is Nanie (funeral song) by Brahms, who set to music the poem Nanie by Schiller and was composed in memory of Anselm Feuerbach, who painted Hafiz at the Fountain. Edit: I'll wait for confirmation of course

Well done Anna!

[Nick Armstrong]

Praise indeed!

Naughty!!

Oh no need at all, Anna! Totally understood, hostess with the mostest!

Nice solving!

I obviously didn't read wikipedia properly

Nan Merriman studied singing in Los Angeles with Alexis Bassian and the legendary Lotte Lehmann.

It was five o'clock in the morning, mercs!!

And these Lottes are troublesome at the best of time!

Mercs is always up with the lark!
Caliban - Good News! Billy the Barristers' Clerk is returning!
Does anyone want a teensy cluette as to the O? Two are English, the other is Franco-Flemish, all are incredibly famous, none are obscure prog rockers!

Caliban - Good News! Billy the Barristers' Clerk is returning!

Damn! I meant to mention it yesterday, I saw a trailer... Silky times ahead for you, Anna

Clue noted

[Nick Armstrong]

A linking O:- I wish he’d change the Record; it’s enough to drive a Saint to Tears; Ssh John, don’t wake him up![/COLOR]

Ah! I think I have it. You could have chucked in a wrong-footing reference to Delius's "Florida", no?

I think we are talking a trio of Orlandi... Well a duo so far

Orlando Gibbons: "This is the Record of John"
Orlando di Lasso: "Lagrime di S. Pietro"

Still working on the other Brit...

Bet she's got a hostess trolley too, envy of the county

Well done Caliban! Yes, Gibbons and di Lasso, I have done a wrong footing on the last of course ...... but the answer is clearly in the clue!

Ah HA! methinks the Lady Anna hath been at her Galliardes agayne!

For 'tis a musickal worke by Mr John Dowland, is't not? His P.61 forsooth, for lute... by the nayme of

"Orlando Sleepeth"

A goodlye questyone Mistress Thou hast giv'n me the right old run-around with thy last bit

Time for me to take the P... Where is Mr Pee when you need him?!

[Anna]

Absolutely correct, Dowland it is!! A trio of Orlandi

So Prithee Sir, a P at your Pleasure ....

[Nick Armstrong]

A P please to connect Igor (supposedly) with a lovestruck monk and a maternal pedestrian.

[mercia]

can I translate Stabat Mater as maternal pedestrian ?

if I can then I think this is Pergolesi

Stravinsky's Pulcinella based on works probably not by Pergolesi
Lo frate 'nnamorato, The Monk in Love, opera 1732
