Um. Is this the Prison Song from Voices?
It certainly has references to 'iron' in the text.

Ives
Holst
Gershwin
Johann Strauss II

Still no joy, IGI.

I thought I was getting somewhere with

Prokofiev: Tale of the Buffoon

Holst: The Perfect Fool

but after that exciting start the trail then seemed to go cold. Is that line of thought worth pursuing?

'Good hunting', eh? There are hunters in Peter and the Wolf. But I can't imagine Holst and Copland being hunting types somehow.

Very tricky, O Cryptic One.

[Oh, Johann Strauss has just appeared. There's an 'Off to the Hunt' Polka. Maybe there is something in the hunting theme.]

No fools here, GG, and no real hunting connection, just a Kiplingesque phrase, possibly to throw people off the scent!!

The Copland is a film score, Ives a song; most of the others are well known (some very well known  Wink)

Colours?

Copland - The Red Pony
Then Rhapsody in Blue, The Blue Danube, The Love for three Oranges.
(Two blues wouldn't seem right.)

Aha! The Copland, Gershwin and Prokofiev are correct...the sequence of composers should help:

Copland - The Red Pony
Prokofiev - The Love for Three Oranges
Ives
Holst
Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue
Johann Strauss II
Delius
