PS Can you think of other 'insect' works?

We did these four not so long ago (the Mackenzie cricket being the odd one out):
Aho - Symphony No.7 'Insect Symphony': IV. The Grasshoppers
Britten - The Grasshopper (Insect Piece No.1)
Sir Alexander Mackenzie – The Cricket on the Hearth
Nielsen - Græshoppen (Grasshopper)
I bought the Aho 'Insect' Symphony recently - good stuff.

Isn't there a Saint-Saens song on the grasshopper and ant? Any insect works by Mayerl and Philip Houghton?

Here’s a tricky one. Try and connect these four composers. You are not looking for a common word link, but you are searching for reasonably well-known work titles, not facts about the composers’ lives.
Prokofiev
Handel
Tchaikovsky
Nielsen

Can I cheat by asking for a 'tricky' clue?  |

You can have an extra two composers: Prokofiev Handel Tchaikovsky Nielsen Korngold Zemlinsky plus the clue that there are two ballets, a film score and an opera amongst the candidates so far! I was expecting a more Wagnerian avatar, Parsifal!  |

Let's hope that RAGA will sing Wagner soon!  The connection in the above quartet isn't Shakespeare, is it? Can you answer my quartet (Msg 1919), and I'll TRY hard to work on yours?  |

No Shakespearean connection this time...
Prokofiev
Handel
Tchaikovsky
Nielsen
Korngold
Zemlinsky
Elliott Carter
Three ballets, an opera, a film score... it might be a good idea to try and pin some of these down and then try and find a link!
Now which Wagnerian roles would Mr and Mrs A sing?!

Interesting. I always find the Dutchman/ Daland duet in The Flying Dutchman quite Donizetti/Verdi-like.
One more composer...one or two titles should suggest themselves now...
Prokofiev
Handel
Tchaikovsky
Nielsen
Korngold
Zemlinsky
Elliott Carter
Schmidt
