I've had a puzzle over this IGI.  Initially I thought it was insects but couldn't get one for Strav, then birds but couldn't get one for Gottschalk.  Probably way off the mark with this too:-

Schumann:  A Poet's Love
Gottschalk: Dying Poet
Vaughan-Williams: Poet (from The England of Elizabeth)
and a stab in the dark =
Stravinsky: Apollon Musagete - Calliope, the Muse of Poetry

A good shot there, Anty, but nothing hit the target. Try another composer:

Stravinsky
Vaughan Williams
Schumann
Gottschalk
Messiaen

Schumann:  Midsummers Night Dream

Schumann? If it was Mendelssohn, then....

No, nothing nocturnal, Anty. Keep trying. As well as some piano pieces, there are two choral numbers here...

Gosh, you've all been busy. Sadly, no hits there, so here's another composer...

Vaughan Williams
Schumann
Gottschalk
Messiaen
Schoenberg
Dvorak

It is a common word link you're seeking.

Great work, Tommo! (Inspired by the recent arrival here of White Dove)

   

In fact, Dvorak and 'White Dove's arrival' gave it to me.

Here's one:

Holst
Puccini
Barber
V Youmans
Prokofiev
Paul Desmond
Glass

Get those, then find the next and keep going.  Oh, and can you find other works that would demonstrate the connection?

Intriguing, Tommo. The only time I've knowingly seen Youmans' name is as the composer of 'Tea for Two', which DSCH arranged as his Tahiti Trot. Any good?

And Paul Desmond could well be Take Five... Are we looking for a mathematical sequence?  Wink

Is it the Fibonacci sequence?

Holst - Huh  (but I can offer Bliss' Adam Zero as a sub!)
Puccini - One fine day
Barber - Symphony in One Movement
Youmans - Tea for Two
Prokofiev - The Love for Three Oranges
Paul Desmond - Take Five
Glass - Eight Days in June

If so, Thomas Albert's Thirteen Ways (based on Wallace Stevens' Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird) could be next.
Then, there's the Butterworth song 'When I was one and twenty' from his Housman settings.

As for an alternative sequence...

Bruckner – Symphony No.0 ‘Die Nullte
Bernstein - One Hand, One Heart from West Side Story
Schnittke – Variations on One Chord
Verdi – I due Foscari
De Falla – The Three-cornered hat
Vaughan Williams – Five Variants of Dives and Lazarus
Reich – Eight Lines

and another...

Nyman – A Zed and Two Noughts
Maw – One foot in Eden, still I stand
Weill - One Touch of Venus
Smetana – The Two Widows
Weber – Die Drei Pintos
Ravel - Cinq mélodies populaires grecques
Berlioz - Huit Scènes de Faust
