    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!

        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.

              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!

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

                  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"

                        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!

                                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
