Does it occur in the second act of The Gondoliers by Gilbert and Sullivan? No, only joking of course! I think I am off to bed now,

The Gaillard Ensemble - 'altogether' geddit? Oh i'm sooo proud of that
Re d) A composer associated early on with a musician whose development had been arrested
How might a singer's development have been arrested, say, in times long gone by?
And relate it back to the G word?Comment

Well done, Anna - my googling had revealed an association with the famous (infamous?) castrato Farinelli but Tosi will certainly doOriginally posted by Anna View Post

OK, I'll have a think and come back in a while. Did anyone see the film abut Farinelli? (I didn't but it looked interesting from the trailers, can't remember who was in it now)Originally posted by amateur51 View Post

"Ooh, Jules, I do like your ensemble"Originally posted by amateur51 View PostThe Gaillard Ensemble - 'altogether' geddit? Oh i'm sooo proud of that
There was I thinking 'altogether' might be a reference to 'in the altogether' where, it would seem, a lack of ensemble would be more in order.Comment

Sorry for delay, too much going on here to concentrate so this is hastily cobbed together I'm afraid (and really easy) Which H links:
Elder statesmen both sides of the Pond one whom to be found on domestic duties
Many parts but mainly pink
Composer of operetta with lots of swashbuckling
Hymn inspired by personal loss

well I'm sure I'm not the only person to think these are Herberts
I'm plumping for
Helena Bonham-Carter's great-grandfather Herbert Asquith
Herbert Hoover with his dam and Fishing for Fun and doing a spot of vacuuming
Herbert Lom in 6 Pink Panther films
Victor Herbert and (possibly) Naughty Marietta
Herbert Howells writing the hymn-tune Michael in memory of his 9-year old son (or perhaps Hymnus Paradisi?)
did that say Hymns and Arias earlier? when I googled that it came up with Max Boyce, how appropriateLast edited by mercia; 06-05-11, 15:56.Comment

I got into Herberts, but nowhere near as securely as you have, and then was thrown by Max Boyce

Well done mercia - a load of Herberts! Goodness knows why I put Hymns & Arias! Yes it was referring to Hymnus Paradisi and even when I changed the clue I forgot to add premiered at a Triple Event, i.e. The Three Choirs Fest. So, all in all, not my finest attempt!! Over to you for an IComment
