If Monseigneur Vinsanto could wrench his mind back from the nether regions of his heavy metal researches, to the question in hand - we are looking for a C (the second consecutive C due to late night brain fade I presume). I have been given temporary power of attorney (and the answer).
If I may adumbrate the clues so far and add one of my own - you are looking for a royal-sounding New Zealand blue cheese, from whose name you will be able to glean the answers. I will add that the latter are three pieces of music, by a Hungarian, an Austrian and a Russian...
