Well, the only other subtitled Haydn symphony in the 80s is No.84, which is sometimes named as 'In Nomine Domini'.

No 88 has a nickname, see Oxford Companion or Amazon  |

So are we looking for letters?
Tchaikovsky - Tatyana's Letter Scene from Eugene Onegin
Josef Strauss - Eingesendet ('Letters to the Editor') polka
Copland - Letter from Home
Carter - A 6 Letter Letter for solo oboe
Rachmaninov - Letter to K. S. Stanislavsky
Prokofiev - Letter to Zakharov

Kalinnikov - Letter to Kruglikov Rather a tricky one, that!  Why is Haydn's No.88 sometimes known as the Letter 'V'? |

The letter V is apparently something to do with the catalogue of the Philharmonic Society of London maybe why I thought it was a 'London' symphony, though I have it on a CD with the 'Oxford' which isn't a 'London' either, performed in Oxford 3 years after composed, it's getting late. Thanks and  |

Had to search for these, in some dark places,
Birtwistle - Shadow of Night
Martinů - Stin (The Shadow, ballet)
Maxwell Davies - Image, Reflection, Shadow
Elliott Carter - Of Rewaking - third song is Shadows
so link is Shadows?

No, not shadows, but it's not too wide of the mark, in a mysterious way...
You're not looking for a common word in each title, but there is a very clear connection that links the four together.

No sleeping involved, and not night either.
