          Bravo ferne.... the third is Letzte Hoffnung by Schubert http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHFGuCvVHkI
          "...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..."

              Yes. Well done. I made it too easy with the "swan songs." It took me longer to think of it than for you lot to crack it

              So who's for the "M"...?? I vote Caliban.

                Tell me about it! At least you had me on a false trail for a moment.

                So who's for the "M"...?? I vote Caliban.
                Seconded!

                    The reference to crocuses was a stab-in-the-dark sort of allusion to the fact that there's a Crocus concert hall in Moscow, the name of which begins with a 'K' in Cyril's alphabet.

                          Alright then

                          Very kind. I've wanted to set M for a few rounds, in fact.

                          What links a school, the Saturn V for example, and Dardanus?

                            One thinks of Marlborough for an M school (at least this one does).

                              Feel free, Don... but it has nothing whatever to do with the answer!
