    Rimbaud correct
    Pastorale d'ete Honegger correct
    van Morrison correct

    I should give this to Anton because he has hit on Ferrero who in 1978 wrote "Rimbaud, ou le fils du soleil"

    Well done, all.

    Over to Anton for an S


    I am off to watch Wallander on BBC4

      Is that not Ferrero - Rimbaud ou le fils de soleil?

          A quick R, to be solved, I would guess, before bedtime

          What R connects Joseph in 1791, Paul in 2006 and Richard 2 years later

          All musical.

            Typing error there, I think, Anton if the solutions I have are anything to go by. They are all the same word and they all begin with S, not R :)

                Ooops! Easily done though! Is is very good to see you back in these parts, anton. What with your return, and ofca's, and our Inquisitor arriving today after Ammy51 became a regular as of a number of weeks back, the ranks are swelling!
                "...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..."

                  No worry, Anton. I am just as good in making mistakes. I must be the foremost editor of posts. I shall leave my response until the morning. A good game!

                      I think we're in for a surprise here! Joseph Haydn's Symphony No.94 'Surprise' was composed in 1791, Paul Simon's song 'Surprise' is from 2006, but I'm struggling to locate the third...
                      Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency....

                        ...especially because, as we were repeatedly told by Mr. Palin and his friends: " nobody expects the Spanish Inquistion"!. Did he bring his comfy chair with cushion with him for people who are slow to answer?

                            Yes you have it I'll just give the slightly more obscure 3rd a little while longer!

                                Sadly amateur51 not what I had in mind but very interesting none the less - the Richard is a Christian name and the surname evokes memories of Larry Grayson!
