Tidying the Coleslaw

German(y) (Anna)

Ralph and Gustav - VW and Holst (Cali) High Germany from Folk Song Suite and Somerset Rhapsody (mercia)
Edward German Anna Henry VIII (mercia)
Brahms German Requiem (mercia)

H belongs to mercia on points!

[Anna]

well, there you are now. I got it completely wrong:
I thought RVW was banned from Germany, Edward German (surname), Holst's family changing their German name, Brahms with German Requium and Henry Purcell employed Germans!

But you were the Germanic catalyst Anna - you set the hare running from Gloucestershire through to Somerset.

Oh, Bless cloughie! Ahem, embarrassment .....

[Flay]

Ahem an H, Anna?

I don't think it's essential - I didn't need any to set it... But on the other hand, you are geographically not a million miles off the mark

I do apologise, I didn't see that I had been asked to do the Honours, I had a very early start this morning and have been out all day, first time I've had internet connection since yesterday is just now, sorry.
EDIT: OMG, OMG, I must get me to iplayer instantly!

On a personal note, it gave a little 'frisson' to hear Caliban quoted a couple of times by AMcG on CD Review of a Saturday morning (but that was presumably specifically because it was from the 'official' R3 message board)

No... that was in the days of the old 'official' boards, was my point! Long vanished into the aether

Oh, Cali, you are all smoke and mirrors I fear ...
I've had an awfully long day, must get something to eat and recharge. So, we are looking for Scandi composers, as mercia says, rather than film music or Edgar Allen Poe?

Just one Scandiman. No fillums or Poe (not directly anyway).

Swans keeps leading one to J Sibelius - hardly awash with Hs........

True. Mercia got the right country, though, which could help banish thoughts of Sibelius...

Bear in mind that the word monochrome indicated as similarity between swans and the other birds in a material respect.
