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.

Higdon - Jennifer. Mostly overexcited = hig(h) + academic =don

THere's a composer called Higdon
hig(h) don, although from the clue I would have thought that the first three letters would have been reversed
Higdon - Jennifer. Mostly overexcited = hig(h) + academic =don

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.
