Bax
Poulenc

It's a common word link, but not necessarily a common language.  Wink

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking 'morning'?

Ravel: Le matin d'un jour de fête from Images
Elgar: Chanson du matin
Johann Strauss II: Morgenblätter
Bax: Morning Song
Poulenc: this one has defeated me unless it's Aubade, which has to do with the morning
Haydn: Symphony no. 6 Le matin
Grieg: Morgenstemning from Peer Gynt

I think I might have found your missing Poulenc, hh:

LA FRAICHEUR ET LE FEU: II - Le Matin Les Branches Attisent...

I only just found that on Grove. Don't know that cycle at all.
It's funny how sometimes just one name (in this case Grieg) suddenly can inspire a train of thought like that.

I don't know it either, hh.  Just plugged "Poulenc" and "matin" into Google and went hunting Smiley

I suppose the Matin responsaries for Tenebrae might be a bit tenuous (or tenebrous?)?

Well done, hh! I did have Poulenc's Aubade ('Morning song) in my selection, as well as Ravel's Alborada del gracioso (which is sometimes known as 'The Jester’s morning song'), but the final movement of 'Images' will do nicely.

I wondered if Grieg's name might cause a few pennies to drop...   Cheesy

I think that the word you might be looking for there is 'sniff'...

And I was convinced you were onto it straight away, martle...

Good morrow, your fiendishness. Theme or common word link this time?

A pedant writes: isn't that Debussy though? (Not 'Aubade of the clown' but the other one.)
