I assume that's Sir Robert Mark, GBE, QPM, former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, and not the drummer/percussionist?

No it's a bleeding typo sorry - Robin Mark- sorry again

Another bloomin' fence fallen <doh> I was working on Elijah, and was getting somewhere!

[Flay]

Actually....

And why should Robin Mark stop those commendable workings?

[Flay]

So far so good....

Elijah, Op. 70, in German: Elias, written by Mendelssohn in 1846 for the Birmingham Festival

William Bartholomew 1793-1867 – wrote English words for Elijah.

The Yellow Brick Road? Frank Baum?

The Yellow Brick Road?

Brilliant!! I was racking my brains about that earlier!

Little grey cells suitably lubricated, ammy? Waaaaaay past your bedtime!!

A modicum of alcohol was taken at dinner I confess We'll have to wait for Flay's response re YBRd

However I have had an inkling. Unusual at this time of night!

I believe the F to be F-f-f-f-funeral... even though Frank Baum and Frank Bridge might be trying to lead one astray...

The Eighth Variation of Britten's 'Frank Bridge' Variations is "Funeral March"

The sleepy brother sounds like a reference to 'Frère Jacques.... dormez-vous?' - being the theme of the funeral march slow movement in Mahler 1.

The highway continues to stump me, however... can't link the YBR or any other

Bed calls.
