Two mountains with a luminous city almost halfway in between: who is the H?

Order! Order! I hear.
Sorry, host.
Thought I had permission to carry on.
Help is required to resolve the g, which I assumed had been done satisfactorily, and therefore that the Palme d'or had been awarded benevolently to me for spotting the cock-up!
And now ferney needs to spill the beans about how he arrived at his correct answer!
Obviously far too simple an association. But it lets me off the hook as I'm expecting some work (deadline Monday) tomorrow!

Golden Cockerel (Rimsky-Korsakoff)
Golden Spinning Wheel (Dvorak)
"His Golden Locks, Time hath to silver turned" (from the Aria from Finzi's For Whom the Bell Tolls)
There's about a third of Alan Hovanhess' output that has "Mountain" in the title - I'm now searching for a pair with another work with the title of a luminous city. There's hundreds of the beggars![FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]
