    Well, that could be Iberia, possibly? Or did he borrow from Isaac? Dunno. As I said, look in later ... (Master Chef is on tonight! Some things take priority!)

        Only because there's a thread about it here! You don't think I have a life outside The Forum do you?

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

          Anna you seem to have a knack of unconciously getting close to it. You need to look for a composer.

            I repeat, why the exclamation mark, Mr Clough?

              Sorry, Cali I missed that - no real significance.

                Going to be offline for a bit now... Looking forward to knowing what the answer is ... or tackling later, armed with a clue or two and Anna's feminine intuition....

                  I think Anna has gone missing in case she gets it right and has to do the J.

                    Isaac Albeniz ?

                      No look at the letters at the beginning of Iberia. Then look for a composer. Then the other three link to works.

                        The name always goes through my mind when there's an I, and it did so fleetingly earlier, because I've used him in two rounds, and I remember one from mercia too....

                        Anyway I think it must be our old mate Ibert again.

                            Thanks for your confidence, anton

                            Where the Cloughster gone? Down the boozer, I'll be bound.... Perhaps after a rehearsal of his Madrigal Society, or however he likes to entertain himself of a Tuesday evening...

                            Ah well... in the fullness of time....

                              Cali -the J is yours - I tried to give as many clues as poss before I went out singing. Answer correct in all respects - like Anton's succinct verdict. No need for coleslaw.

                                Good question... Nice misdirection, as I said before...

                                A J then.

                                This J links George and John with the biggest public square in London.
