OK here are the answers:
Monday: Archduke Francis Ferdinand
Tuesday: Emperor of France
Wednesday: Joy Division
Thursday: Moonlight
Friday: Elise Stefanik
The theme that connects the answers is works by Ludwig van Beethoven:
"Archduke Trio.", "Emperor Concerto.", "Ode to Joy", “Moonlight Sonata”, and "Für Elise."
I’m not so knowledgeable of classical music that I knew the first two, but connecting “Joy Division”, “Moonlight” and “Elise Stefanik” was pretty straightforward. The hardest part is guessing which word of a compound answer (such as a full name) is tied to the theme, but I don’t know “Stefanik” in any other context, and “joy” seemed more likely than “division”.
