Hi all,

Can anyone give me a hint for the composer...it's driving me mad!

"Composer of piccolo part in Easter work" (4,6) - last letter is "s".

A hint would be fab....sounds like an anagram of easter and part of piccolo??

Thanks in advance
Chris

Could you write down what letters you have already?

[Chree]

only one ...
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ S

not much help eh!

[shaneystar2]

Could be Eric Coates ..anag of Easter and Icco ..part of Piccolo

[ace bt]

is an anagram of easter and icco...

[Chree]

That sounds plausible......esp that Coates wrote parts of Dam Busters soundtrack......I'll see how it fits with the other related clues.

Thanks

[Chree]

Yeah, that's it - thanks all!

Can't work out 11a though...

"Modern note struct by 23 and others (10)"

_ _ _ _ E _ I _ A _

Anyone got that?

[Argee2]

Neoterical - anagram of note +eric+al.

[Chree]

Thanks argee2!

Hi there - it's a british composer and as you say it is an anagram of part of piccolo in Easter

[Quenten24]

I also think it is eric coates which would then tie in with what I think is the answer to 22 accross
