Right, for that I'm going to get out my set of composers that has a link to the varieties of herbaceous, biennial, and dicotyledonous flowering plants known as cabbage. Darn, I've given away the link  |

Britten - Rape of Lucretia?
It wasn't actually the Respighi that did it, IGI. In fact I still haven't worked that one out. Respighi's Trittico Botticelliano, as featured on this lovely disc:  The 2nd movement, The Adoration of the Magi, finds Respighi weaving in the melody from 'O Come, O Come, Emmanuel'! |

Now I'm in the mood, will you set another one, Il Grand Inquisitor, whilst I go down to pick up another load out of the drier?  |

Happy to, Milly.  A little easier, I think, but another one where it's not a common word link. Connect these four (subs sitting on the bench if required): Cherubini Ravel Rózsa Johann Strauss II |

I still think your Jupiter connection was pretty Fabuleux, Millie. And I was uni- not multi-tasking as is the male wont. Thank you George.  I also did the Daily Mail quick crossword in the middle of all that. Seriously! I did. (Not that this is a great example of an intellectual exercise of course, but just to prove that I was in fact also doing other things.) |

I think we may be talking Arabian legends (or even Arabian Nights) here: Ravel - Sheherezade Weber - Abu Hassan (or alternatively Oberon) Rozsa - The Thief of Baghdad Cherubini - Ali Baba  |

Rozsa - The Thief of Baghdad
Cherubini - Ali Baba
 Well spotted, pw! The Stauss is not the Persian March, however. You need something more closely linked to the works concerned... The reserve line-up, should you care to complete the link, were: Bottesini Nielsen Rimsky-Korsakov Rabaud |
