    Just a few wiki links from Monet to Turner, and Hans Christian Anddersen and Tina Turner and some woman with a double-barreled name. Need some other clues but the morning will do!

    well I have at least four composers called Ippolito, also a cardinal who "sponsored" the career of Palestrina
    Hans Christian Lumbye wrote the Copenhagen Steam Railway Galop [train connection]
    just found out that Manet had a close friendship with Chabrier [oops - getting my Monet confused with my Manet]
    EDIT - I can make Tivoli fit in a not very musical way

    You mean put your Monet whereyour Manet was.
    I reckoned it was trains or tales and Lumbye Lumbye Lie Ay suggests trains.

    You have the T for Tivoli and two of the elements, mercs - well done

    Can you explain the fit? There isn't a music aspect throughout, it's true.

    not sure I've quite grasped all the facts here, also hampered by not being well-travelled

    the Gare Saint-Lazare is on the site of the Paris Tivoli Gardens
    Hans Christian Lumbye was music director of the Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen 1843-1872
    Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, sponsor of Palestrina, commissioned the building of the Villa d'Este which is near Tivoli in Lazio [I think]

    You have a perfect grasp of the facts, mercs!

    In fact the way I thought of the facts was slightly more musical than that - I started with the Tivoli Symphony Orchestra and thought of the three connections, with the 3 Tivoli gardens in Copenhagen, Paris and Italy respectively.

    I eluded another complication, which is that there seems to have been a London Tivoli Orchestra, which Richard Strauss conducted, in "Augmented" form, in a recording of extracts from Rosenkavalier... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Don-Juan-Op-...8278945&sr=1-1 But I haven't found a clear explanation on the internet of what it was, etc. There's no wiki page for example. If anyone finds a useful source, I'd be interested!

    This may provide an explanation, it was for a silent film of Der Rosenkavalier
