The Berlioz is correct!

... but it's a different event in the Wolf's Glen scene.

TF:  No, the Strauss is a different work

IGI:  Afraid not, but you're on the right track.

A further clue:  the Tchaikovsky opera has the same title as another piece by the composer of the mystery work.

Mazeppa, in which case our mystery composer is Liszt?

Absolutely correct!  Now you just need to find the work  Cheesy

Does Freischütz contain a scene with a burning bush or something?

No, no burning bushes here.  We're looking for a familiar theme from German romanticism.

Heading in the right direction - I think you probably have the right Schoenberg piece - but not quite there yet ....

Gurrelieder?

Is the Beethoven symphony No.6 'Pastoral'?

Gurrelieder is the correct work - now just find the link with the Wolf Glen's scene!

Beethoven - not the Pastoral, I'm afraid.

Just to recap:

Tchaikovsky opera - Mazeppa
Berlioz Dance - Menuet des Follets
Strauss section from symphonic poem -
Beethoven symphony -
Legendary scene set by Weber and Schoenberg -

The composer is Liszt.

I thought the Bleating Sheep were from Donkey Hot Tie.
