One for the classical music boffins! I've completed the crossword OK bar one, which I cannot work out any answer to.
21a: "US composer mostly over excited academic" (6) -i-d-n
I have trawled my music ref books & searched the internet for US composers who might fit this clue in some way, all without success. Could the ending be "don"? Anyone crack this please? Thanks.
Thanks very much both of you. Strange though that she doesn't appear in any internet lists of US composers I looked at. Perhaps she needs to compose a "New World" or "Choral" symphony to get more public attention! Thanks a lot anyway.
