Alphabet associations - I

[Norfolk Born]

amateur 51: I only responded to the last clue in order to get shot of the allegedly easy 'G' question. As you did most of the work, I would humbly suggest that you set the 'H' question.

Cheers Norfs & sbc!

An H to connect Graham, Arthur, George and others

Offf to the cinema (Les Acacias) and back about 17:00 I hope.

H is a poet; the others are composers

Offf to the cinema (Les Acacias)

What a nice name for a cinema: our local's just the "Odeon".

H is a poet; the others are composers

Well, so much for Harrison: the Beatle, Organ builder and the one I was puzzling over.

Could it possibly be Houseman, and George Butterworth, Arthur Somerville and Graham ... the other one I'm puzzling over?!

EDIT: ah, thank you wiki - not only supplying Graham PEEL, but also correcting my spelling of Arthur SOMERVELL.

Housman is the H in question ferney! Bravo!

All the composers - as named by ferney - wrote songs from verses in Housman's verse cycle 'A Shropshire Lad'

So it's over to ferney for an I

Rossini

Alas, No.

Incidentally, all clues are Musical, the answer isn't (well, not intrinsically).

Spot On, mercia! (And just when I was trying to think of an extra clue).

The J is indubitably yours.

[mercia]

moor baht'at - a topless encore .... I like that
Fenby's overture Rossini on Ilkla Moor I should have said


a J that is

not one of the seven geographical features, but is a ninth symphony and can involve a nightingale

[antongould]

Janiculum?

[mercia]

Janiculum?

oh very well done Mr AG

and why Janiculum?

[antongould]

because Wiki suggests so

Prischetti's 9th symphony bears that name......
Janiculum although Rome's second highest hill is not one of the classic seven
Respighi composed the Pines of Rome with a 3rd Section - The Pines of Janiculum including a nightingale.
