      Syrinx?

        The first of Britten's Six Metamorphoses after Ovid is Pan who played upon Syrinx, his lover turned into a reed;
        Debussy's Syrinx was designed to be played offstage;
        And there's.... er, an asteroid of the same name.

          Correct! There is indeed such an asteroid: - "an Apollo and Mars crosser asteroid." Crosser than Anna when I offended her feminism?

          (Asteroids are always handy when you cannot think of another clue as there are so many!)

            Nicholas Daniel performs Pan from Britten 6 Metamorphoses after Ovid


            Lovely. But never watch an oboist's face while he is playing!

                Sorry, I'm waiting for the divine wind of inspiration. Might go out and get a curry...

                              Bliss's 'Things to come' Suite and Haydn's hymn tune 'Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken'. Don't know about the children's opera...

                              Just seen Cloughie's update. I think my answer for element #1 is more likely to be what Rubbers had in mind...
                              "...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..."

                                OK Cal - he never requested any clarification but you could well be right, but I claim it on a majority verdict!
