    I've found a common 'T', but it's singular in all cases.

      Well, did the earth move for you?
      "...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..."

        Morning, Cali - just looked at this one - doesn't make much sense but Gerald (Finzi) links latin-wise with Tarantella.

          Nope... Try Latin as opposed to latino...

          Morning to you too!

                  Very kind of you to ask I'm sure but it appears that my three singular triumphs were leading me in the wrong direction. Presumably I'm terrably off-track.

                    I'm orf for the day soon but just wanted to suggest that Caliban seems to me to be pointing to terra

                    I hope that helps or at least doesn't make me look a complete nana

                    Have a good day

                      Your last sentence subtly suggests not...

                      I'm heading off in a moment, back a little later. You're looking for Christmas, earthquakes and kingdoms...

                        Can't get past Finzi's earthly peace, but I'll think on!

                            What's wrong with that?

                              There's nowt wrong with it - I'm a great Finzi fan - it's just that I can't find any other earthly - or even earthy - works that seem to take me further.

                                Well Gerald Finzi's In Terra Pax is one of the elements - and Terra is the singular version of the T

                                What's the plural? And then look for early French music.



                                PS: I wasn't suggesting anything untoward about Finzi and your relationship with him! I think I knew you were a fan.
