Very wise M'Lud. Care to dig any deeper holes in the art of patronising?
Yes I edited my post... using a small spade
"...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..."

... aha - then Mr Custard, who was referred to on the radio the other morning.
And I'm afraid Me Caliban is teasing us with a 1980s beat combo.
I won't be teased.
It is an attentive and an unforgiving vindepays.
Crachez, Monsieur, crachez !!!
(Bloomin' AGES since with had a vinous puzzle. Shake a leg!!)

I would love to see you in a wimple!
No idea of the answer I'm afraid, something tells me it's the Cocteau Twins, well, probably not, as they are not classical, but, if, indeed, you do like the Cocteau Twins, as I do, then, in fact, I think you are totally wonderful!!
On the othter flipper, if you don't like them, well .... Pooh! to you! And they don't start with an H.
edit: only joking, and going off line now!
So among the quips and the wimples, who is going to be a splendid chapess or chap and set out the answer????
Your sweet tooth is guiding you in the right direction, hedgey

Well, only because I mentioned Threni on Bbn's "Easter Music" thread earlier today, and it occured to me that, as it's the only work by Stravinsky that includes an organ part, "organic Stravinsky" might be useful in a future AA.
Bit redundant now.

Twins Luke & Matt Goss, forming the boys band Bros
John Goss organist and composer 1800 - 1880
The brothers Reginald & Harry Goss- Custard both also organists, Reginald also composed.
Quite right! The only thing missing would be the snow link: the familiar setting of the carol / hymn "See, amid the winter's snow..." was written by Sir John Goss. It's a Christmas tune I rather like, actually. Apart from that, I agree with you taste-wise.
Oh vindetable knows everything, he's just so reticent and modest!
H for Hedgehog!
