The final piece in the puzzle is a very important member of Batman's entourage.
In a murder mystery, he would be the first suspect.

ALFRED! And how appropriate that you should solve it! I did have Normand Lockwood's The Scarecrow, Marie Samuelsson's Penguin Quartet and Innocent Ujah Idiba (also known as '2face' Idiba) in the wings but that would've bin a bit desperate init. |

It maybe the weekend but the brain cells still have to be excercised. So here are a few. One is a poet(if that is allowed!?!?!?)
Philip Larkin
Poulenc
Ravel
Lalo
All I would say at this time, is that there is one common type of something they wrote, etc.

Aubade?
That gives me a useful excuse, if one were needed, to pop over to the Poetry Thread and post the Larkin one there.

Well spotted George, but what a profoundly depressing poem that is. |

I've a sneaking suspicion we should be looking at the operatic stage for this one? (and possibly for operas depicting events from Greek mythology) Strauss - Daphne Handel - Apollo e Dafne Offenbach -  Cavalli - Gli amori d'Apollo e di Dafne |

Is it something to do with transformations? Strauss - Daphne (transformed into a tree) Handel - Orlando (someone is transformed into a bush, aren't they? or back from one?) Cavalli - Calisto is transformed into a little bear and then a constellation (quite a day for her) Offenbach - That's where I get stuck too [Later: Aha! Thank you Mr Google. There's an Offenbach operetta called La Chatte Metamorphosee en Femme (but with an accent). That would seem to fit the bill. <lickscreamemoticon> ][Even later still, so another colour change is called for: If we make the Handel one Acis and Galatea instead (Acis turns from Shepherd into Water Feature) then maybe the connection is that the transformations are all taken from Ovid?] |

George, why are you invoking a "lick scream" emoticon?
The Offenbach doesn't sound like it comes from Ovid... is this an odd one out round?

Font Faceed for: If we make the Handel one Acis and Galatea instead (Acis turns from Shepherd into Water Feature) then maybe the connection is that the transformations are all taken from Ovid?]
This would suggest that the Offenbach is Orphee aux Enfers. |
