Alphabet associations - I

You're looking for 5 settings of the same poem.
Perhaps I'd better offer further 'nominal' help:
Arthur Somervell
Graham Peel
Janet Hamilton
Hugh Stevenson Roberton
Reginald T Johnson

phew - looks like In Summertime on Bredon has been set by those and several other composers

I suspect Anna knew that answer all along

I found that very testing!

It's reassuring you did too, mercs!

Must get back in the swing this weekend....

No mercia, I didn't know it. I just looked briefly at the question and thought Shropshire but then was offline.
Welcome back Caliban - did you have an exciting week with your visitors?

That looks familiar - possibly because that's where I checked the puzzle before setting it!

To sum up before mercia brews the T:

They all set Housman's 'Bredon Hill', all naming their songs (In) 'Summertime on Bredon':
Arthur Somervell in 1904, Graham Peel in 1911, Janet Hamilton in 1919, Hugh Stevenson Roberton in 1931 and Reginald T Johnson in 1939.
Some chap called Williamson did the same, but I couldn't track down the publication date.

I did thank you, Anna... Really good (though hellishly expensive) half-day at the Harry Potter studio tour at Warner Bros in Herts. - fascinating even for non-fans like me: the level of detail in design, architecture, puppetry, all sorts of skills... mind-boggling! Amazing to tap the full-size houses in the backlot, and find that what looks (even 2 cms away) like brick is just papier mâché... Plus a visual blast at the cinema (Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus'), nice eating out (nothing flash) and also in....

Oh bravo Caliban! Your break has clearly done you good

I was struggling away in vain with tarantella

No it was fine, I've been doing some work... happened to know that one, thanks mercs

Self-confidence duly boosted, I shall try and find a U. I will be away a couple of hours over lunch though.

Caliban Chambers' chef must be offering grilled dover sole as a Friday treat - they can be fiddling things to eat on the bone if you're in a hurry

Nahhh..... Dim Sum at the Chinese Cricket Club

Have to go now. Haven't come up with a U yet. With apologies, can I resume play after the luncheon interval?

[Nick Armstrong]

Good afternoon.

A U please, to unite two Pasquinis, a van Eyck and Jean-Philippe Rameau

Am I bit cuckoo, or have you invited us to an office wedding?
