    They started early - the crack of Dawn I think.

    I was happily up too late.

        The cycles in question are English.

            ... are they connected with the liturgy or church year?

              No. Just titles.

                One bicycle or is it more than the one? Or are the cycles algebraic?

                I'll keep pondering

                  Four works, two of which (according to their titles) are cycles (hence bi-cycle).

                    Ah! Thanks for this - your bone dry original puzzle seemed all gibberish to me and had my imagination penned up.

                      You might be circling around the solution.

                        I believe that the answer could take all the love from me.

                        Allgebrah for Oboe and String Nonet
                        Bone Alphabet for percussion solo
                        Time & Motion; Carceri d'Invenzione - two cycles of three and seven works each.

                        Can't, for the life of me get an F to associate them!

                          First two correct. You have missed the very early cycles.

                            Ah! And it was your extra clue that took me away from the bicycles! Presumably "Epi" and "Fire ... Beta"?
