No Chinese connection here.
Time for an extra composer to help out...Mussorgsky.

I was going to say Autumn until you added Mussorgsky - but I don't know much about Mussorgsky. |

A mythological link? Walter Murphy - Cupid Finnissy – Mars & Venus Schnebel – Medusa or Orpheus' Bücher Ives -  Or days? Ives - Holidays Symphony - Decoration Day Walter Murphy – Saturday Night Fever Finnissy – Glad Day Schnebel - Re roslynmuse's idea, I believe there are references to Beethoven, amongst others, in Finnissy’s ‘History of Photography in Sound’. And Dieter Schnebel arranged Beethoven’s Symphonies ( Re-Visionen I, no. 2) for percussion and chamber ensemble (1985). |

Nothing autumnal, no. The Mussorgsky is a very well known opera excerpt. The English pieces are well known, apart from the Rubbra which is a solo piano piece, although the Vaughan Williams is contained within the first line of the song, not the title.  Britten Arnold Delius Rubbra Mussorgsky |

I like your thinking, but Boris isn't the opera concerned.

The first line of a song by whom, if not VW? The clue must be in the Rubbra, because he didn't write much for solo piano.
I don't know why I can't get this. It's driving me mad, so I think I'll stop for now.

Mary, forget the first line to a song (that can wait for another puzzle!) roslynmuse, no it's not dawn, but you have identified, ironically, the Mussorgsky and the Arnold!  Ian...see my reply at the top of this page (No.136)... I think I might be close. |
