Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Fain would I Webster thee with 'Once on a high and windy hill' from 'Love is a many splendored thing', 'Now I shouted from the highest hill' from 'Secret Love' or just 'The Black Hills of Dakota'Originally posted by Northender View Post
Darwall's 148th was 'Hills of the North rejoice'
Bax's 'Faery Hills'
Weatherly and Coat(e)s 'Green Hills of Somerset'
But I'm too slow with Ammy in full blaze!Comment

Ammy - you have indeed conquered all 5 Hills, and provided all the relevant details. Please proceed to 'I'. 
(Cloughie - Coats, as in threads, had nothing to do with Eric Coates, whose father was a doctor).Comment

Coats had nothing to do Weatherly if its no e, but with an e in the Hills of Somerset maybe a Cider connection!Originally posted by Northender View Post Ammy - you have indeed conquered all 5 Hills, and provided all the relevant details. Please proceed to 'I'.

Nearly three hours gone & nary a nibble ....
The I is a forename in the first two, and a family name in the third.

All three are musical.
That'll do for now. I'll be sloping off by 20:30

Oh dear, no nibbles at all!

What about if I tell you that Esplerando is the nickname of a soloist on an upright stringed instrument?

Just think: this time last year, AA closed entirely for a month and a half... Someone'll mosey along by-and-by for a chomp..."...the isle is full of noises,

can't find an online dictionary which thinks that either esplenderoso or esplerando are real words, which makes them difficult to translate
upright strings - cello or bass I guess
wikipedia says there are four songs and one jazz band called The Thing
can't be many I words that can serve as both fore and sur-namesComment
