Richard Wagner
Tan Dun
John Rutter
William Bolcom
I immediately thought of poet William Blake, knowing Bolcom had written music for Songs of Innocence and of Experience and Rutter incorporated Blake's The Lamb in Mass of the Children. Can't link Tan Dun ( Crouching Tiger fame) though found that musician Christopher Lamb performs Water Percussion Concerto, so still looking...... For some reason I thought Wagner had been influenced by Blake but can't find anything  |

Now it's not difficult:
Wagner - Siegfried (includes the character of Fafner, a dragon in this opera)
Tan Dun - score for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
William Bolcom - song 'O to be a Dragon'
John Rutter - The Reluctant Dragon

IGI,
May be people are out on such a good day. I am here now, but I am not good at solving puzzles and I don't know much. Can you give a clue to make it easier?
Or may be you are out and away yourself.

I struggled to find a link between Ligeti and Massenet, but Brahms set me on the right track...
Massenet Scenes hongroises
Ligeti Hungarian Rock
Brahms Hungarian Dances
Berlioz Hungarian March
Lehar Hungarian Fantasie
