      "Hail" was not a guess, ma chère Anna... Endless research went into the formulation of that answer!



      Enjoy tonight's Killing session I shall be recording it I think.

      Where's that Cloughie?

      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          The hard and cold type, cloughie. Unfortunately I have to pop out now and will be away for some time. I don't think the others are trying - I got the answer in a relative trice, but did not dare to proffer it due to my commitments. I feel sure some kind person will grab the baton...
          I made it relatively easy in a Cornish google sort of way in the hope that someone would get it before I went out.

            Hail it is!

            Can you get the rest?

                The boulders of Trencrom, Sing with fervour etc.

                Your answer was fine, sorry I missed it when skipping through late on!

                There are a couple of possible Merritt Hails but yours will do fine.

                I time, Cali

                    Hoping that m'learned friend's cold is better this morning, if I may approach the bench ...


                    Arne wrote Cymon and Iphigenia


                    Gluck wrote Iphigénie en Tauride


                    Peter Schikele aka PDQ bach wrote Iphigenia in Brooklyn

                    I thus priopose that Iphigenie is the answer

                          Good news all round, Caliban

                          Twelve symphonies, eight string quartets, an overture to youth, and part of a bridge celebration - what J connects them?
