    Boccherini wrote a famous minuet and a zarzuela called La Clementina, and St Peter's Basilica has a 'Capella Clementina'. Can't find the orchestra or anything to do with the tale featuring &c. &c.
    The Cologne Chamber Orchestra played under the name "Capella Clementina" from 1976-1986.

    "Jeeves and the Kid Clementina" is one story in Very Good, Jeeves (1930)

        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                        Sorry Calibs, I have been sitting this one out, (trying not to over-expose myself).

                        Is La Forqueray involved?

                              I suspect Caliban has chosen one particular spelling of his name.

                              I have always preferred d' U****
