RIDE, PIKE, LANE and MOTORWAY are all forms of ROAD; POMP, DEMONSTRATE, EXPOSE and REVEAL all define SHOW, giving ROADSHOW. SOJOURN/ADJOURN, WANDERS/WASHERS, SHEER/SOWER and CLAIM/CLARO give the pairs SO/ND/HE/IM and AD/SH/OW/RO. Redundant words in clues follow the notes to the relevant clues.
Sondheim was 80 in 2010; ROADSHOW is his most recent show, and, as it postdates Eric Chalkley’s death, Apex never had a chance to commemorate it.
For anyone who is interested, EUAN appears as one of ‘Some first names’, ELBE under LUSATIAN and POLABIAN, and DR WHO under DALEK. The English choral tradition generally seems to prefer Psalm 100 to be called JUBILATE DEO rather than what Chambers suggests (e.g. Britten’s setting).
