      Perhaps a spot of lunch will re-enliven the little grey cells!

            Ah it's our old friend Jean Jules Amable Roger-Ducasse !!
            "...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..."

              AH!

              Well it's easy to comply with the letter of the law with a spot of cut-n-paste:

              Epithalamium

              John Fould's piece (he was born in Hulme)

              Thomas Arne's 1736 "A Grand Epithalamium"

              Jean Roger-Ducasse, Epithalame 1923


              I'll think up an F if desired - Northender's gone off to luncheon.

                Which F is singularly happy and plurally songful, and was easily part of a 1965 million seller?

                  Frankly, I'm wanting to veer towards the Beatles for 1965. Obviously it's nothing to do with Mr. Potter?

                    ... well, on aesthetic grounds, it would be interesting to know whether this was Alexandre des Plat - or Alexandre de Splat

                      Nothing to do with either the Beatles or Mr Potter... on the card at any rate. One of these Fs does feature in the HP books and films, though, now you mention it

                            Is the "1965 million seller" music-based?

                                Well, it could be either: The Four Tops or, Walk in the Black Forest. No idea, I think I may go and sit in the sun and soak up the rays!
