[I]"Light thickens; and the crow
Makes wing to the rooky wood:
Good things of day begin to droop and drowse;
While night's black agents to their preys do rouse."
A poacher turned gamekeeper in 1976, part of a famous flautist and, by the sounds of it, an ancestor of Danny.
I'm struggling with the first element, but Jean-Pierre Rampal and Pierre de la Rue.
In 1976 Pierre Boulez founded the Ensemble InterContemporain and also conducted the Bayreuth festival centenary production of the Ring - a curious dichotomy of enfant terrible and custodian?

The "poacher turned gamekeeper" refers to Boulez's 1950s pontifications about burning down the opera houses; Wolfgang Wagner, in a manoeuvre of utter genius, invited PB to conduct the Bayreuth Centenary Ring in 1976, an invitation which PB accepted.
Meantime, rubbers is on fire today (wondered what the odd smell was).

Sir, sir, Mr Mercia and Mr Tapiola are being beastly to me again!!!!

Staggering detective work, Hercule. You don't mind if I call you that, do you?
