Er, not that I'm aware. This may be my first poser, but I don't reckon I'm being too obscure! Especially considering one of your interests, Don . . .

And Grainger composed a Fantasy on themes from Porgy + Bess. But as I said earlier, there's no common title word - and there's a connection with some book(s) or other. Here's the list again. Maybe the first won't give such a strong clue but the last will . . .
Bernstein
Handel
Merikanto
VW
Grainger
Tallis

We're looking at books of the Old Testament, aren't we?
Tallis - Lamentatione Jeremiae Prophetae
Handel – Esther
RVW – Job
Bernstein - Symphony No. 1, Jeremiah
Merikanto - Genesis

Well done IGI! Plus Grainger's Love verses from the Song of Solomon. Bernstein could have been Chichester Psalms. No apologies for mention of "good books" and "last will" - "apocryphal" would have been next.

Hurrah! Can't believe we didn't spot the biblical link before, especially with all the clues!
Here's a new teaser. Connect this quartet of composers:

Much better than roses, Daniel. (And I was only listening to the Moonlight Sonata, as played by Barenboim, at the RFH yesterday evening!!!)  |

Daniel and IGI, sorry but no. Near though. Good connections, though I thought.

The Britten and Richard Strauss are right, but unfortunately, the Debussy and Beethoven wrong compositions. The Tempest Sonata, I should've thought that one to, as I play piano as well.
