An A to link Manhattan, Manhattan and Manhattan

Time to transfer my attentions.

[Resurrection Man]

A clue or two.

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

[Northender]

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?

[Northender]

John Adams?

John Adams (composer): Doctor Atomic (features the Manhattan Project)
John Adams (composer): On the Transmigration of Souls (WTC Manhattan)
John Adams (President): lived in Richmond Hill, part of what is now Manhattan.

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.

[Northender]

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!

[Northender]

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.
