My deja vu really is doing overtime! Didn't we have nightingales befor with Abalaviev's nightingale?

Tommo, I couldn’t discover any nightingales in the NMC thread here, although it may well have featured on the old R3 boards; there’s no search option, frustratingly, and it may have appeared before I joined in the fun!
Anyway, here’s a new one…five works, the titles of which should lead you to another composition by a mystery composer.
Your five composers are:
Debussy
Verdi
Smetana
John Williams
Puccini

Well, a random guess time...
Debussy La Mer
Verdi Aida
Smetana Ma Vlast
John Williams Star Wars
Puccini Mme Utterly-Butterly
Heaven knows what the connection is, but I think it has something to do with our Ada being a bit of a mare.

Well, Tommo - two semi-hits there with the Smetana and the Williams, although you'll need to be a bit more specific...  |

Another fairly random attempt, based on your "slightly more specific" hint...
If "slightly more specific" than "Ma Vlast" was "From Bohemia's Woods and Fields" then the Puccini could plausibly be La boheme.

Yes to the Smetana, Ruth, but not La Bohème, I'm afraid.
Debussy
Verdi
Smetana – From Bohemia’s Woods and Fields
John Williams
Puccini

No to the Debussy, rm. You're looking for a composition for piano.

But the John Williams could be 'The Asteroid Field' from Star Wars? Tommo |

Good try, but no. It's not a common word link, but a word (or more) in each title should point you to a sixth composition by a different composer.

Ah yes, I remember now.
So, Star wars is right but not specific enough..... Rebel Fanfare? Imperial March?
How those go with Field as part of another title is utterly unclear..... so probably wrong then.
