    Not a "pretty" woman, just a woman (maybe on a cycle)
    <doh> What a load of old ... Schumann, Frauenliebe und Leben. (Incomparably well sung at the first Edinburgh Festival by the gorgeous Kathleen!

      So much <doh> you could bake a loaf! But you are correct in all of your answers!

      No need for that Googling, RM. You are reprieved.

      EDIT: Not a mass, it's a symphonic poem isn't it?

        But using inverted commas you could have searched terms like "composed life" along with key words like "music" "classical" etc

        This could give you Giya Kancheli: Life without Christmas

        ....but you would have been wrong.

          A small attempt at humour: Delius also wrote the choral work A Mass of Life.

          Moving on:

          An M to connect Zander; a supersonic Piano Sonata; and Robert Ward's Pulitzer Prize (set in Sheffield?)

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

                      WOW!



                      Perfect in every detail, with particularly creamy coleslaw (that "named for" the special sprig of fennal that makes all the difference!)

                      Nothing to add except to hand you the N.

                        OK then... I'm sure we've had this before, but perhaps not in this form

                        An N to link Igor, Franz and Manning.

                        I suspect this won't delay you too long...

                              I think we have your F Liszt with a setting of the Nightingale by Alyabyev
                              I Stravinsky with his opera the Nightingale
                              M Sherwin wrote the music to the wonderful A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square words by the BBC's own Eric Maschwitz / Holt Marvell.
