What about the nursery rhyme? I can only find two with Ks: Old King Cole and Three Little Kittens.

Nat King Cole??

[mercia]

Take that thought a bit further!

cloughie got a thumbs up for Koechlin

don't know if that means Koechlin is the overall answer and we have to work backwards from there

I'm not particularly aware of monkeys being kept in bags

Koechlin isn't the overall answer but a part of one of the three clues.

Koechlin's Jungle Book monkeys appeared in an AA question last year

Les Bandar-log, opus 176 [not sure about a bag though]

Could it be that those of us who have never Kippled are at a disadvantage?

A shortage of wool in Berkeley Square?

oh, OK

I wonder if K is going to be Kipling, as set by three different composers

[vinteuil]

Could it be that those of us who have never Kippled are at a disadvantage?

"WILL there never come a season
Which shall rid us from the curse
Of a prose which knows no reason
And an unmelodious verse:
When the world shall cease to wonder
At the genius of an ass,
And a boy’s eccentric blunder
Shall not bring success to pass:
When mankind shall be delivered
From the clash of magazines,
And the inkstand shall be shivered
Into countless smithereens:
When there stands a muzzled stripling,
Mute, beside a muzzled bore:
When the Rudyards cease from kipling
And the Haggards ride no more."


[James Kenneth Stephen; 1859-1892]

More or less - one setting and two close connections.
