I'm prepared to wait & if no answer within a day I'll put up a regulations D.
Oh I'm sure there'll be someone who'll be prepared to - but I agree, an Anna D would be great! Getting Campion was the latest in a line of bullseyes... Come along ANNA!!

One of the great advantages that you have, I suspect, hodge is that you quite a bit younger than many of us old-timers on AA and thus you have full possession of your memory marbles, all shiny and neatly lined up in row, whereas several of mine are a bit cracked & chipped and one shot under sideboard last July and is now covered in fluff
Most of us don't remember what's been before, honest
Not so sure about age Ams, but you know my marbles are made of diamonds (are a girl's best friend)
So now to the prize of the day - barring mercia, I think it falls to Anna - I'm quite sure she had got the gist of the thing without google aids. That combined with her knowledge of St Stephan on the letter B - Prize of the day!
Well, bugger me, I have no idea what hedgehog is on about but - she thinks I'm wonderful, and gorgeous, so, in the words of Parry - I was glad!
On the other flipper, I cannot see that the answer to the puzzle was Crumbs
Anyway, I never watch Top Gear, Clarkson being such a moron, but I did see a trailer for their African adventure. of which the repeat is shortly on BBC2.
So, I bid you goodnight for the meantime
Actually, Crumbs is really weird, for an answer.

And with that, she was off!!
Anyone for D?

Perhaps I could stand in for Anna, in the absence of a scramble to set the next puzzle, and propose a totally undeservedD...
...linking Telemann, an unmasked Queen and William Waynflete
"...the isle is full of noises,

I take it that this is William Waynflete who became the Bishop of Winchester and later Lord Chancellor?
You take it well, sir

So to clarify: What a polyglot huddle of C’s in that field there!
That is a group of Composers of different nationalities (languages)
A pig-headed one Cabezón, horsemen (Cavalieri )with their accomplice (Compère)trampling with his slipper (Chausson) those wildflowers (both red and white)
(Campion).
when you put it like that, it seems very straightforward
anything to do with any musician who might have passed through Magdalen College ?
Indeed. There are actually 2 such connections with Magd:Coll:Oxon among the three elements to the puzzle.

but unless we're looking for three Daniels that wouldn't make sense
Whereas, as usual mercia, you make perfect sense. You are indeed looking for three Daniels !
