    That occurred to me after I'd posted the puzzle, by which time it was too late - besides, D'Indy is shelved under "D" in my collection, as are De La Rue, and Delalande and deBussy

        So - to coleslaw-

        Vincent d'Indy, who at various times taught the three members of Les Six that subby mentions above, and Cole Porter, and Seth Bingham (no; I hadn't, either!).

        Full marks to subby and the opportunity to excercise our brain cells with an E.
        It will be tomorrow afternoon before I have time to work on this.

                ... or perhaps Helsingør.

                Diderik Buxtehude was organist there; Ambroise T (of the recent Berlioz quip) composed 'Hamlet' (not to be confused with the parody of same, "Hammlet" by Julius Hopp [probably useful for a future AA... ] ); Franco Faccio also produced an 'Amleto' : wiki tells us of Franco F - ". As his European travels came to an end in 1867, he traveled to Copenhagen on a steamship named Hamlet, and was amused to see other ships named after Shakespeare's tragedy. While in Denmark, he made a special trip to Elsinore and visited the Royal Castle where he had the feeling that at any moment one could imagine seeing the "wandering and troubled shade of the assassinated king...

                    ... which F had a perilous Rhine journey, was robbed - but hoped that the music would get better treatment than he received from the soldiers...

                        This person's music.

                        Two autobiographical works are referred to here : the perilous Rhine journey, which is an allemande ; and the robbery and soldiers, which is a lamentation.

                          Perhaps I could wängle a conductor to fit this one, but I'm not too confident about it.
