[rubbernecker]

Owt to do with serenade, no?

[rubbernecker]

Serenata notturna K239?

[Tapiola]

Piccola serenata, by Bernstein, might relate to the "little" of the clue.

No, it's much more obvious than that!

[Anna]

Now, this is going to sound a daft question but we are looking for a further two serenades and Eine kleine Nachtmusik doesn't come into the equation?

Edit: Ignore that, I am having a blonde moment

[Tapiola]

Yes, Anna, the Eine Kleine had occurred to me also, though I was unsure where I was going with it...

Not at all, Eine Kleine is indeed the other serenade I was referring to. The third element is not a musical work per se, but is to do with another word in the clue

[mercia]

Standchen? with an umlaut

no, that's a musical work

[rubbernecker]

No, no, it's really obvious. Think Michael Winner....

[mercia]

Think Michael Winner....

he says "calm down dear" a lot in an advert but I can't think what it advertises

[rubbernecker]

No point in prolonging it, we're as good as there:

Serenade

- derived from ‘sereno’ = calm
- Mozart Serenata Notturna K.239
- Mozart Eine Kleine Nachtmusik K.525


Time for T already, who wants to serve it?

[Tapiola]

No, no, it's really obvious. Think Michael Winner....

Do I have to?

And here was me having such a pleasant afternoon...

[Tapiola]

I believe mercia did most of the work on this one. Would you care to give us a T?

[mercia]

well I've got an easy boring T, wish I could do entertaining cryptic like everybody else, anyway


Did Larina's daughter make her debut as Hippolyta? No, but she wrote a "Song about Happiness"

[Anna]

Before mercia's T is tackled and at the risk of sounding dim, what was the Michael Winner component of the puzzle? Just the words "calm down" or does he advertise something called Serenade?
