    Two correct answers thus far:
    Leigthon Lucas composed the 'Amethyst March' for the film 'Yangtse Incident' (part of which, incidentally, was filmed near here), and there is indeed a Monty Python song entitled 'We Love The Yangtse'.
    No problems Norfy - I probably only noticed it because of my expertise in cocking up clues!

    Is Byrd the name?

      You're looking for a saxophonist called David ..... who shares his surname with English composer William ..... and plays with a group that you might expect to find on their knees. This group recorded a song about the Yangtse.

        I'd rather like to put this one to bed, as they say, but I'm not sure who gets to set 'Z' or 'A' if I give the answer to the final element....the saxophonist is David Boyce. What's another word for people on their knees (especially if they're asking for something)?

                    Try an A to link Goldmark, Parry and Birtwistle.

                      The particular nature of my sense of humour has not infrequently been the cause of comment in the past, and may well be again...please feel free to read 'fun', in this case, as 'fray'.

                          No. About a thousand or so years out.

                            Thanks for the encouragement scb - it fits Parry and Birtwistle & I daresay we could have a go at Goldmark too

                                Even further away than Agamemnon.
