"Lieder" is the L. Erl King is the third king. Look for two more kings in songs by another composer chiefly known for Lieder.

Don't really need to bother with the Erl King do we? Can't we get 3 for the price of 1 in Hugo Wolf's "Die Heiligen drei König" - the Three Kings from the Nativity?

I must go! Looking forward to that "M" from M-m-m-mercia who got "Lieder" as the answer!! We know you love setting 'em, mercs

<< two more kings in songs by another composer >>

Always read the question.... Should have looked before I posted.

Must stop now and tidy the house before the cleaner arrives.

Right composer, but two different kings needed in different songs.

[mercia]

besides, we haven't finished L yet by a long chalk (I hope I've got that strange expression correct)

Just one more Wolf song to go before you give us an M.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Don't really know the Wolf lieder: are the Harpenspieler settings anything to do with David / Saul?

Just noticed that one! Made me choke on my coffee!

I am imagining Mrs Flay upon her chaise longue with the mid-morning martini, while you bustle about getting the house spic and span for the daily...
