        A clue or two.

        First two refer to musical compositions and the last to a premiere of a piece of work.

          Given the wording of the question, isn't it equally possible that the first relates to a premiere and the second and third to muscial compositions...or the first and third to musical compositions and second to a premiere?

                        It's been said before and it'll be said again

                        Loved the puzzle and the solution. I was at no stage anywhere close to providing the latter
                        "...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..."

                          Out of interest, have you listened to much ManTran - some absoultely brilliant vocals, particularly the female voices, and in my view preferable to Adams' music.

                            Hi folks! As it happens, I do like ManTran - especially the 'Pastiche' album and their beautiful, simple close-harmony version of 'A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square'. I'm not a fan of Mr. Adams's music, I have to confess. I knew about the Presidential element from watching the wonderful series that Channel 4 broadcast starring Paul Giamatti and Lorna Linney (That's just Lorna, you understand). Time for me to devise a 'B' I guess - I'll be back before too long!

                              A 'B' please to link:
                              - Carruthers and colleague;
                              - nephews and nieces;
                              - Shropshire in September, for example

                                Isn't a gem? Mecca for Moderns also a great album - love 'Until I met you' and those incredibly high notes! Their vocalisation of 'Birdland' is also good.
