          Gosh... could a three-element puzzle be more compact!?

          A is for At a loss, for the moment...
          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            An Irish colour immediately suggests 'Green' Is this perhaps in a title of one of the works? Another symbol of Ireland is the harp (strings) Apart from that nothing springs to mind at the moment.

                                Thank you.

                                The coleslaw:

                                Arthur Sullivan; Irish Symphony
                                Arthur Bliss; A Colour Symphony
                                Arthur Honeger; Symphony No2, "for Strings" (& solo Trumpet obliggato)


                                The pilot of Thunderbird 2 (RIP) leads to song after song from this B Foucault lover.
