Another common theme is in fact moonlight is not it? At least one work of all five men has that in its name. . . .
Yes, it could be, Sydney, but not this time, I'm afraid. The Tchaikovsky and the Rimsky-Korsakov have identical titles.  |

Thank you Ollie, even a search failed to find that one. There are a few females featured in Enigma Variations, maybe one of them had an icy charcter, but methinks Elgar chose his lady friends wisely |

The Debussy could also be The Snow is Dancing.

 Well done, Ollie, John and Tony...another festive connection! No snow here, but a heavy frost has already settled onto the frost which survived through yesterday. |

It's not a musical musical connection is it, IGI?
Am thinking:
Vaughan Williams: Serenade to Music
Schubert: An die Musik
Britten: Hymn to St Cecilia
Not sure where that leaves me with Berlioz...

Not a quartet of seasons, Ruth, nor 'musical'. It is a common word link you're seeking, sometimes in the singular, sometimes plural.

At every one of these [classical] concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. (Shaw, Don Juan in Hell)
