      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        What about the dramatic serenade?

        If that's how you serenaded Mrs Oven, it's perhaps no wonder the good woman works abroad....?

          The serenade is Il sogno di Scipione, K. 126, which Mozart composed when he was 15 but was only performed it seems in 1979 in Salzburg - one of the lead roles is a character called Fortuna

          The choral work is 'O Fortuna' from Carmina Burana

          For the cruise, I can only think of 'Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage' can't find a Fortuna...
          absolutely correct, fortunately! The other Mozart character alluded to was Constanza.



          Yes, Costa Fortuna - a sister ship of the sunken cruise ship Costa Concordia It was all I could think of at that late hour...

          Gosh, are we onto a G already? Go for it, Calibs!

                    I'll take a case too.

                    Back at the web-o-graph, a G coming up, with a bit of luck

                      A G to link Rotterdam, Ravi Shankar and a compound of sodium carbonate, lime and silicon dioxide

                      I am leaving for lunch with a client around 12:30... In fact the location of my lunch inspired this question ... indeed, it's the answer!

                        From the infamous, painfully funny and totally non-PC director Mel Brooks and his film "Blazing Saddles". This is actually the first movie fart scene ever!!...

                          The aforementioned compound would appear to be Glass

                            And the City of Rotterdam commissioned Satyagraha by Philip Glass. But I can't locate the restaurant Caliban is headed for, all the ones I've looked at seem to be decidedly too downmarket for such as him!!

                              Oh well done Anna and Ammy! Both correct

                              What were the restaurants called, Anna? Nothing's too downmarket for me

                              I have to leave now...

                              I intend to have a pint or two of Cobra beer (clue!) so may be a little squiffy on my return... I shall expect to be entertained after lunch, in particular by the correct answer
