Good work, pw and rm. I was thinking Après un rêve for Fauré, but Rêve d'amour will do nicely.
Puccini?

 To sleep, perchance to dream... Congratulations!  Doretta's dream from 'La Rondine' was indeed the Puccini, although he also wrote a song titled 'Il sogno'. |

Correct, pw and Ollie!  Wagner – Ride of the Valkyries Vaughan Williams – Riders to the Sea Sibelius – Night-Ride and Sunrise Haydn - String Quartet No. 59 in G minor ("Rider"/"Horseman"), Op. 74/3, H. 3/74 and no need for Delius or Adams either! A trickier quartet: Bottesini Haydn Rota Bantock |

Would it have to do with that well-known beer Bass, or its twin a.k.a. Double Bass? Haydn Double Bass concerto (lost) Rota Double Bass concerto Bottesini 2 Double Bass concertos So clearly, Sir Granville Bantock must have written one too, though Google has yet to disclose it unto me  |

Sadly not double bass concertos, though I can see how Bottesini could lead you to think that! Imagine a Bantock Double Bass Concerto?! Here's another composer to add to the pot: Bottesini Haydn Rota Bantock Verdi |

Here's another composer to add to the pot: Bottesini Haydn Rota Bantock Verdi Bantock wrote Songs of Egypt, and of course Verdi wrote Aida, set in Egypt. Anywhere close? |
