Goya?
Granados was inspired by Goya and composed The Maiden and the Nightingale (so Composer of the Week informed us!)
Goya painted about the 3rd May 1808 which was Spanish resistance to Napleon and also painted Love & Death

Happy Easter, Anna! You got it... But which G are you going to plump for?

Clue: I was thinking more specifically about "Love and Death" as a title...

Either way, start working on your Haitch!!

Oh, maybe you mean Granados' opera Goyescas in which case I've messed up me answer!! I don't mind handing it over to someone else to tidy it up.

As the great Bernard Cribbins said:
'You know the trouble with Fred? E's too 'asty...you never get nowhere if you're too 'asty'.

I'm not really sure I deserve the G, getting Goya and Granados so mixed up, so does someone want to set the H?

No no... it was Granados I was thinking about... The answers were:

1. Love and death (El amor y la muerte) - one of the movements of Granados's piano set Goyescas
2. Yes - the painting by Goya
3. Yes - the Nightingale from another of the Goyescas pieces: The Maiden and the Nightingale (La maja y el ruiseñor)

Where are you Anna? It's certainly your H!!!

Honestly rubbers, you are so quick off the mark! Absolutely correct and the inedible was Herring Gull. Mind you, it was ridiculously easy

I was, as a clue to Albert H. going to post "Wake me early Mother Dear ...." but that was too obvious. Speaking of waking early, I had promised myself a lie-in but was woken at 7am by a hot air balloon taking off!
