Well, I note a Prinz Waldvogelsgesang by Enescu, which provides a link with Wagner (Siegfried and/or Meistersinger); Puccini La rondine (  ) Bliss - |

I don't know the Enescu, which isn't the piece I had in mind, but Siegfried is the Wagner composition you're after!
Wagner - Siegfried
Enescu
Puccini
Bliss

IGI, I'm not hot on mythology, so logical thinking/linking in these guesses
Bliss - Hymn to Apollo
Birtwistle - Gawain

The Birtwistle will do nicely, John (although there is an alternative opera which also works), but not the Hymn to Apollo:
Wagner - Siegfried
Enescu - Oedipe
Puccini
Bliss
Birtwistle - Gawain
