The piece of music was created as a ballet for elephants to dance!

For Vinter, you need a different word to search under, other than 'elephant'..... a work for bassoon.  Like your new avatar, John! |

Here’s a musical connection with a difference. We’re going on a Mediterranean Cruise, visiting different ports and islands in the company of different composers. The composers are listed in a logical ‘itinerary order’, but I’m not saying where we begin or end our tour; I’m sure you’ll get your bearings soon. Some days involve an inland excursion. Bon voyage!
Montsalvatge
Bridge
Poulenc
Wagner
Rachmaninov
Massenet
Cage
R Strauss
Schubert
Verdi
Mozart
Dizzy Gillespie
Rossini
Godowsky
Ibert
Albeniz

Right country, but wrong location. We set sail from a port.

I'm afraid I'm starting at the end
Albeniz - Iberia
Ibert - Chapeau de paille d'Italie
Godowsky - Arabian Chant
Rossini - Italian girl in Algiers
Gillespie - Night in Tunisia
but I guess Ibert took a wrong turning and Godowsky got lost . . .
