    Remember that you are looking for an 'H'.

      Well, Anna, I've think you've covered all the bases with that offering...

          Right.

          Well apparently I was correct in my suggestion of André Previn, without an 'H'

          Does any of the solutions to the 3 clues start with an 'H', scb?

            The 'H' is the title of an album by the first, part of the title of a composition by the second, and occurs in the titles of two films for which the third composed the music.

              Been chipping away at this since Ams got us the André Previn toe-hold on this vertical cliff face of a question, but even with the additional Rupert Brooke element, I can get absolutely nowhere
              "...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..."

                      Sticking with Previn, the only composition containing an 'H' on wiki is 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse'


                      Working further on this I get:

                      "The Four Horsemen", a song on Metallica's 1983 album Kill 'Em All
                      "The Four Horsemen", a song on Judas Priest's 2008 album Nostradamus
                      "The Four Horsemen", an Aphrodite's Child song from their album 666
                      The Four Horsemen (band), a late '80s / half '90s hard rock band from Hollywood
                      The Four Horsemen (rap group), rap group formed by Canibus, Killah Priest, Ras Kass & Kurupt
                      The Four Horsemen, sound-poetry group in Toronto, see Steve McCaffery
                      "Four Horsemen" (song), a song on The Clash's 1979 album London Calling
                      The Four Horsemen (album), a 1993 album by Ultramagnetic MC's
                      "Four Horsemen of 2012", a song by Klaxons from the album Myths of the Near Future (Also "4 Horsemen of 2012" from Xan Valleys EP"

                      Am I getting anywhere, scb?
