Oops, I left out the Gliere. Not Sireny but an obscure piece. We still need one more vowel and it's one we already have.

Not a King, but... Delius isn't right either/

(Obviously the definite article is not included if it appears at the beginning of a work's title.)

Gliere - Marš Krasnoj Armii (March of the Red Army) ..is the Glinka in Russian or are we looking for an English translation?

Wow! That one came out of the blue....I thought people had forgotten it! Well done, roslynmuse...and no need for me to drop a clue about a pair of Williams combining to lend a hand!

Trouble is, I've got eight letters that I can't do much with....hint - is the 'hidden work' which is 3-6 preceded by a 'The'?

They are not English words (but you will recognise them, I'm sure). Giving the language would probably give the game away. Hint: he is not the only composer to have written a piece with this title.

If you don't get the connection in the next few minutes I'll tell you the language...
