      Thomas Hardy - far from the Madding Crowd
      Agatha Christie - Murder on the Orient Express
      F Scott Fitzgerald - Tender is the night

      All had film music written by Richard Rodney Bennett.

                        Partial to cryptic crosswords, I thought about trying to join in here. Alas, this makes the average Araucaria clue seem like child's play in comparison. Not much fun for the uninitiated.

                            No you need to look to Germany and America.

                              Are we looking for three 4th Symphonies, for example, the S being their names? ("Simple" or some such?)

                                Twelve-note Rows (4x3); moved from Germany to the States in the '30s - thus requiring a change of spelling of his surname.
