A Welshman's death

He probably vies with Lloyd George as the best known Welshman of the twentieth century.

I thought Tom Jones was still alive?

Thanks to the (rather generous) hints, I think I've found:

Stravinsky: "In memoriam Dylan Thomas: Dirge canons and song"

and

Arnold Bax: "In memoriam", dedicated to Patrick Henry Pearse, executed due to his actions in the Easter Rising.

No idea about the Russian assassination.

Correct in both answers. The missing part is also, obviously, In memoriam...

As I perhaps have been a bit too generous, too early, I will be more circumspect regarding the missing answer.

In all likelihood, no one will have heard of the assassination, its victim or perpretator. The music is not well-known, or at least I had never heard of it. However, it was also performed at the composer's funeral. As stated previously, he is one of the twentieth-century's greatest composers.

Wikipedia eventually came up with Sibelius: In Memoriam, written in memory of Eugen Waldemar Schauman, a Swedish-speaking Finn, who assassinated the Governor-General Nikolai Ivanovich Bobrikov.

That wraps it up nicely. After my previous funeral music, I continued in sombre mood with three in memoriams.

So onwards and upwards to J. I will leave it up to crb 11 and subcontrabass to decide who sets it.

I've set two recently, so happy to let subcontrabass have the honour. (Won't have time to think about it until this evenng in any case.)

Can you find a J to link George, Ludvig, and Andrew?

Can you find a J to link George, Ludvig, and Andrew?

I found that George Gershwin wrote a piece for consort band called Japanese, and Ludvig Irgens-Jensen wrote Japanischer Frühling. No luck with an Andrew though.

[subcontrabass]

George, Ludvig and Andrew are in chronological order, spanning the period from late 17th century to today.

That eliminates George Michael then and Jesus to a Child.

I also had Andrew LLoyd Webber and Jesus Christ Superstar

The only Ludvig I have heard of is Holberg.

Try thinking about something that was visually, if not aurally, (poly)chromatic.
