        my first thought with the copse was Forest Murmurs, but no Fred there
        goons are presumably Peter, Spike, Harry or Michael - nothing springs immediately to mind
        copse is probably a substitute for another word - forest, wood, trees or something
        Footballer used to play for Man Utd - so an opera that sounds like his name composed by another Frederick

        Trees is good - what might you entitle a song about talking to trees?

              Handel's Rinaldo takes place in and around Jerusalem. In Act 3 a garden disappears.

                        Who wrote "I Talk To The Trees" which Spike Milligan used to parody on The Goon Show

                          Agreed but can we consider Anton's Law - if footballers are used as clues the details must be correct Cesc Whoever is Spanish - Ronaldo is from next door.......

                            Frederick Handel - Rinaldo - a disappearing garden in Act 3
                            Frederick Delius - Village Romeo and Juliet, sinking barge
                            Frederick Loewe - I talk to the trees


                            I wonder if anton wishes to set a question
                            otherwise I shall abandon my attempt to listen to The Yeoman and think of one
