Come away, come away, death,
And in sad cypress let me be laid;
Fly away, fly away, breath;
I am slain by a fair cruel maid.
My shroud of white, stuck all with yew,
O prepare it!
My part of death, no one so true
Did share it.
No, not that....Pacta sunt servanda !!!Comment

"...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..."

Anyway, we're talking Vagabonds aren't we?
Not sure of the first one ....
UPDATE: but I think it's this...
a very abstruse first element: track 4 on the album 10000HX LEGEND by French electronic music duo AIR is called The Vagabond
The Vagabond King, 1925 operetta by Rudolf Friml involving King Louis the Somethingth in disguise
RVW's The Vagabond from Songs of Travel to words by Robert Louis S
(This could have been the beginnings of a very sneaky L for Louis question....
)

Very well, thanks Flay.Originally posted by Flay View PostI've read "Coming up for Air" but I can't remember it....
If you google "New York (upstate), Virginia, North Carolina, Hawaii" you get the American Plumbing Web.
So the answer must be U-bend

What Wonders noW?
W-w-w-why thank you.
W-w-w-w-well then.
The aforementioned Ralph in nocturnal mood, Stanford in soulful mood and Holst in introductory mood. What W?"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

Would it be Whitman?
Whispers of Death ..words by Whitman set to music by RVW
Song of faith ....words by Whitman music Villiers Stanford
Whitman Overture by HolstComment

I'm sure it is. I was wondering about Westminster (Stanford buried in the Abbey etc), but yours fits perfectly.Originally posted by Resurrection Man View Post
Caliban, Caliban, where are you? (to the tune of "Peter pointer")Pacta sunt servanda !!!Comment

Ah! Yes! A double W 'twas, Walt Whitman is right!Originally posted by Resurrection Man View Post 
The Holst Overture: correct
The RVW and CVS contributions are not however what is on the card... Nocturnal and Soulful... Care to have another go, to wrap up the perfect answer?

For the RVW I had "A clear Midnight" but it would be churlish not to give you it for that equally-pertinent suggestion!
In addition to the Holst "A Whitman Overture" previously given
Yes if you can't be doing with X, Y or Z, convention suggests you can proceed directly to A
