Bravo, Daniel!

Can you name them?  

This connection follows on, quite naturally I thought, from martle's 'icy' one!

Awww, just beaten. Yes, thanks for the 'warmer' clue:

Rautavaara - The Fire Sermon
Sibelius- Fire on The Island ( I knew there was an island!)
Glinka - Fire of Longing
Maxwell Davies - Fires of London
Scriabin - Poem of Fire
Wagner - Magic Fire Music

and struggling now, but how about:

Britten - Requiem - Behold the preparations, fire and iron
