Sorry, Ruth, but nothing doing there...not a colourful connection! Have an extra composer instead:
Elgar
Haydn
Torke – Ecstatic Orange
Sousa
Puccini
Daniel Purcell - By silver Thames' flow'ry side
Villa-Lobos
Wagner

Given that we already have Orange and Silver, it's not by any chance something to do with words which don't rhyme with any other words...

The rhyming’s not important – The Inquistor tells you so. Perhaps another composer clue Will cause the ideas to flow? But who to choose as number nine? Strauss or Schumann could be great… But I’ll settle on Bedřich Smetana To lead the game to Czechmate!  Elgar Haydn Torke – Ecstatic OrangeSousa Puccini Daniel Purcell - By silver Thames' flow'ry sideVilla-Lobos Wagner Smetana |

Ah! I think I'm getting a better idea now. "Silver" isn't the key word at all, is it... I'm thinking rivers now! Strauss - Blue Danube Wagner - any number of Rhine references Smetana - Vltava/Moldau, depending on who you're listening to Back soon with some more, if that's the right answer Later edits:Villa-Lobos - Amazonas Elgar - Severn Suite Sousa - Across the Danube Puccini - I'm racking my brains... references to the Arno (Gianni Schicchi) and Yangtze (Turandot)... there's got to be something about the Seine in Il tabarro... but I can't think of anything obvious. Perhaps I am on the wrong track altogether  |

Note to self: must not get involved in quizzes at bedtime. I awoke this morning thinking "West. Is there a West River? As in La Fanciulla Del?"
Edited to say: IGI, your final clue also mentioned Schumann. Would that be the Rhenish Symphony? That's the only thing I can think of.

I have a quiz:
Find the pieces and what links them and why:
A set of "songs" by a priest?
A requiem by a guitar playing composer?
A waltz by an astronomer? and
A set of piano pieces by a person sharing the nationality of the priest?
