Does it have anything to do with Mozart?
Messiaen - Un Sourire
Works that quote or are written in homage to Wolfgang?

I fear you're enjoying this, martle. Ever thought about a post in the Inquisition?!
Am I correct in thinking it's something to do with casts?
Rossini - The Barber of Seville
Strauss - Der Rosenkavalier
Puccini - Manon Lescaut
As well as Figaro, the barber, the other two operas have hairdressers listed in the cast (albeit silent roles).

Nope.  Only the Rossini and Puccini are operatic. But it's nothing to do with subject matter. Think more, oh I don't know, climatic... |

Strauss - Der Rosenkavalier
And indeed, I think I read this somewhere in the work of the admirable Mr Lebrecht, there exists a sketch for a sequel to the Sinfonia domestica which finds Strauss taking the dog for a walk, collecting the morning paper, having a flutter on the horses and paying a visit to the barber, where he has his moustache trimmed and purchases something for the weekend. |

OK, I'm in generous mood after a chicken.  Have another composer overnight. This one should help give the game away. Puccini Rossini - The Barber of Seville Tippett Strauss Messiaen Vaughan Williams |

Wind machines! Rossini – Il barbiere di SivigliaStrauss – Don QuixoteVaughan Williams – Sinfonia antarticaPuccini - La Fanciulla del WestTippett - Symphony no. 4Messiaen - Des Canyons aux étoiles… or Saint-François d'Assise or Éclairs sur l'au-delà…Would Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé be on that subs’ bench? (I might also appeal that Strauss’ Alpine Symphony should have drawn verdant approval…  ) |

Excellent work, IGI!! Correct in all particulars, including subs and alternates.  ...the connection being that they all feature wind machines. A little run-on from your car horns puzzler the other day! And very appropriate for the weather today in west Wales, let it be said.  |

And very appropriate for the weather today in west Wales, let it be said. It's a fine, sunny day down here (but then, yesterday started that way...) Here's a tricky little puzzle in response! Try and connect these composers... clues and extra composers to follow Tchaikovsky Howells Scriabin Hillborg |
