As this is hard, I'll tell you that the Telemann was correct, and that the Rorem could work - I actually had 'The Serpent' in mind.

The Bach is hard because the answer involves two languages, neither of them English.
And the Schubert is not about the title.

So, we have so far:

Auber – Le cheval de bronze
Bach - (involves two non-English languages)
Captain Beefheart - Carrot Is as Close as a Rabbit Gets to a Diamond
Cowell - Tiger, for piano
Billy Harper - (try a language not referenced in any other clue)
Haydn – (you should be able to get this one)
Lassus - (think multilingual pun)
Ned Rorem – 'The Serpent', from ‘Three Poems of Theodore Roethke’
Satie - The Angora Ox
Schubert - (the link is not in the title)
Telemann - Packe dich, gelähmter Drache
Zappa – (just keep looking!)

You should be able to get it now!

And any thoughts on this one?

Blow
Charpentier
Ireland
Palestrina
J. Strauss II
B.A. Zimmermann

Ian, is the Zappa the monkey link?

Maybe I didn't phrase that too well....Will Zappa lead us to the monkey connection?

No, you might try Bach for that one.

Tell me when the next clue is required Wink

(and I will ponder your latest!)

By the way, for the other languages, you could always try using a Google translator for the words concerned ....

Bach - (involves two non-English languages)


Wach auf, mein Herz, und singe from BWV 194 - German being the language/ 'singe' being French for monkey?

Excellent!

(yes, I know, that one was a bit naughty)

My other puzzle may require a little clue to get beyond the starting board, I reckon - I'll tell you that the Palestrina begins with 'Lamentation'

And because I'm feeling generous, don't go off looking for 'rooster', try a chicken instead Wink

Is the 'dog' link the hounds in Haydn's 'Seasons'?
