      I did google that (I have no fear) and it brought up the answer - Cyril Rootham and nothing else but that. It must be the way your mind works that you expected anything else .......

          Apologies, everyone; I really should have resisted the urge to be a clever clogs, but the pun was beyond my powers of resistance!

          My partner and I celebrate our 17th non-Wedding Anniversary today , so I'm only able to pop into these Boards every so often.

          Oh; and I got one Cyril wrong: I thought it referred to Cyril Fry of Aldeburgh!

              Why resist - nobody else does!

              Many congratulations and I hope you and your partner have a wonderful evening with plenty of and

              Edit: I honestly thought just now I had cracked Caliban's puzzle and the answer was The Queen of Sheba (obviously chosen in honour of my return to AA) then, I realised, I was looking for a D Doh!! <palm&face stuff> So, no idea. Have our merry band dwindled even more? Ho Hum, I shall stuff some red peppers a bit later and watch the return of HIGNFY after Corrie whilst consuming a vegetarian feast (I feel the need for some Ying and Yang)

                  Cyril Rootham!

                  I am somewhat pressed at the moment.... I guess this means I have the D?

                  A quickie: which D is a common theme between Karl Goldmark, Albert Coates and Dominick Argento?

                  I shall endeavour to superintend faithfully but forgive occasional silences....
                  Drink?

                    Caliban is temporarily (until about 11pm tonight) unable to post on the boards and has asked me, for my sins, to be his eyes and ears.

                    His eminence sends his greetings and begs to inform that Drink is incorrect.

                      In fact I have vanquished the rebellious myrmidons of the internet and have returned, grateful to The Rubbery One for his assistance.

                      Any more for any more?

                              Glad to hear you managed it. For a moment I thought you might have been banish'd from the fair isle altogether with the gate barred, never to tread the boards again.

                              Is you D theme a Dickensian one, perchance?
