          I thought I had indeed waxed lyrical about chocolate and salted caramel tart with popcorn icecream

          That was after really scrumptious scallops in a white port and garlic sauce followed by ribeye with their blue Stilton béarnaise. House claret avec. Plus the 'Corpse Reviver No. 4" to start and finish. Perfect.

            Absolutely stumped by this, anton. In particular I can't make head or tail of "September and Motion"....

            Good puzzle!!

                          Sadly no - a composer probably best known for film scores.
