Mostly Musical Mini 30

Constructor's Note
This is the last MMM, for a while at least. I’m going to start a new series of midi puzzles after New Year’s. To wrap up the MMMs, I included a pun I’ve been kicking around for months and have finally decided to inflict upon you (10 Across) as well as a nod (4 Down) to the greatest music mockumentary ever, "This Is Spinal Tap" (narrowly edging “A Mighty Wind”).

          Loved the pun! Some say less is more, but you could say that concert program would be Mauriceless.
