Alphabet associations - I

[Angle]

Thanks, Caliban.

After an unsuccessful attempt at an early night, I am still wide awake so shall post U:


Which non-British U is concerned musically with
a bridge, a crossing of hands, and transcription.

Only the first four letters of each word are identical.

Back around 10.

[Norfolk Born]

über:
-brücken
-kreuzen
-tragen.
Das war eine ganz nettes Rätsel!

[Angle]

Vielen Dank, Ofcachap.

U is fast becoming one of those letters which are harder to set but easier to solve.

You get the V. The Oxford Companion versions are :

Übergang or überleitung - a transition or bridge passage
Übertragen - transcribe
Übergreifen - to cross the hands in piano playing

Wo ist die Sonne?

V ?

[Norfolk Born]

Hier scheint die Sonne aus einem klaren Himmel. I'm working on V.

[Angle]

Und jetzt, auch hier

I think I shall reurn to English: I might get myself into difficulties.

Is no-one else out of bed yet ?

[Norfolk Born]

What V links:
(a) A famous charity founded early in Victoria's reign in an equally famous churchyard;
(b) A waltz composed 23 years later; and
(c) An English opera premiered in Germany?
The three elements span 63 years between them. Two of the three answers are musical works.

[Angle]

c) sounds as if it ought to be Delius - A Village Romeo and Juliet

[Angle]

b) an 1864 work by Josef Strauss

Unfortunately, I am away out now, until Friday evening, so I must leave V to someone else.

That would be the waltz and the opera, then?

[Norfolk Born]

Yes...I was trying to find a neat way of saying that, once you have the name of the charity, which does not begin with V, you then need to find a musical connection which does, but is not a composition. The opera, and thus the word that is common to all three, has been correctly identified.
EDIT I have to correct a numerical error in the question. The gap between the first and second events is twenty-one years, not twenty-three. The overall period covered remains 63 years. Apologies.

[Norfolk Born]

Time for another clue? The waltz involves some seasonal arrivals that, even as I write, are probably bringing joy to the hearts of Bill Oddie and Kate Humble. (I saw some in Wales a couple of weeks ago).

So, is the waltz Village Swallows from Austria ?

As Angle has already suggested, supra

Yes, I know that but I wondered if Ofca had seen it, hence him giving a further clue three posts above? Cannot figure out the Charity founded in a Churchyard at all.

[Norfolk Born]

As Angle has already suggested, supra

He may have suggested it, but Anna actually named it...
Be that as it may: Taking 1865 (the date given by most sources) as the year of composition of the waltz, which charity founded twenty-one years earlier will lead you to the third Village?
