I was thinking more in terms of

then maybe you'll see the light in good time...

Was that not a clue? Are we looking for something Cockney-related?

It was a clue of sorts...it depends which angle you come from. Cockney-related? Hmmmm, getting rather warm now, hh!  Wink

Right! So Bank Holiday could well be something to do with it!

Yes, hh, although you need a particular movement from it.  Smiley

Here's a final composer...

Poulenc
Bartók
Schumann
Ketčlbey – Cockney Suite: Bank Holiday…
Rautavaara
Coates
Butterworth

(If it went "Ba ba ba baba ba ... baba  ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba babababab badeebaba" then it would be one for the nursery / dairy / elephant house, depending on how you read it.  Smiley)

Tommo

Tommo, perhaps you'd like to take that idea over to the latest Musical Connections puzzle... Wink

Well, clearly, the answer to the puzzle is 'Elephant Houses'.  Wink

I don't get the Cockney Suite connection though.

No. 1 - A State Procession (Buckingham Palace)
No. 2 - The Cockney Lover (Lambeth Walk)
No. 3 - At the Palais de Danse (Anywhere)
No. 4 - Elegy (Thoughts on Passing the Cenotaph)
No. 5 - Bank Holiday ('Appy 'Ampstead)

Maybe it's a Rhyming Slang link.  (Given that ba ba was a change from la la).

So,

Ketelby: 'Ampstead 'Eaf = Teeth

Is there a Barnet Fair = Hair in there?
Irish Rose for Nose?
Lords and Peers for Ears (or did someone write something about Britney?)

Oooh, you're getting close, Tommo! It's not rhyming slang though. Your 'ba ba' practically gets you one of the answers. Your Ketčlbey is correct... Smiley

Poulenc
Bartók
Schumann
Ketčlbey – 'Appy 'Ampstead
Rautavaara
Coates

Is closer than you might think in one case...  Wink If you look beyond the door, you'll find another answer is operatic.

Having given due consideration to the foregoing, I wonder whether we are talking about alliteration in the titles:

Bartok - Miraculous Mandarin
Schumann - Paradise and the Peri
Poulenc - O Magnum Mysterium, or even Clic Clac Dansez Sabots
Coates - Last Love
Rautavaara - Lost Landscapes
Ketelbey - 'Appy 'Ampstead

Good thinking, Martin, but George and hh seem to have got the link.

Hampstead

Schumann - Mornington Crescent?

Yes to the first two (well, three seeing that the Poulenc and Bartók are combined), but no to Coates...or Schumann, though I'd like to have heard his Mornington Crescent!!  (You didn't tell me you'd figured out the Poulenc/Bartók one this afternoon!!)

Rautavaara: Angel of Light?

Yes, indeed. There are a few alternatives, but that should do nicely. Now, you all need to follow my line of thought...

Poulenc – Babar the Little Elephant
Bartók – Bluebeard’s Castle
Schumann
Ketčlbey – ‘Appy ‘Ampstead
Rautavaara – Angel of Light

Coates -  Covent Garden  or  Westminster
Butterworth - On the way to Kew

Any nearer than my asinine alliterative attempt?
