I've been well wide of the mark so far! Do I recall that mercia was known in a former manifestation as Hercule? He should be right at home with Miss Marple now in the frame...
"...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..."

apparently Marple was based on a real Ms WEST.
Il pastor fido - Handel or somebody else ?
haven't found out much about Ms Lantree 'cept her middle name is Margot
yesterday I thought I found out that Under Stress was a song by Velvet Underground but I can't fiind any reference to it todayComment

I feel you may be closing in mercs .....Originally posted by mercia View Post
Honey and Jane both had to thank the composer for shall we say their best know works
Handel was arranged by this very regular visitor to the AA clue list
And Under Stress is rather obscure I admit .......
But not West ....Comment

The best I managed was discovering that in the original production of the Handel one of the roles was taken by a Mr Walzer - so I've been looking out for Strauss Waltzes with a German name that translates into "Under Stress".

apparently there's some of il pastor fido in Beecham's Love In Bath
there's a novel by Geoffrey Wolff called The Age Of Consent but I don't think he's written Under Stress
