          OK, let's wrap this up, I hate to think of you discomforted!
          Lionel Hampton and his King David Suite is the last missing element (known for his vibraphone playing)
          So, to recap, the other ones were:
          Sousa - King Cotton March
          Dowland - King of Denmark's Gailliard
          There is also King David by Honegger of course which may have been simpler than the Hampton ....

          So, work permitting, the L is yours, but as it's Friday afternoon don't rush. Gosh, I am so looking forward to the weekend and some relaxation, been a stressful week, as I suspect it has been for some others here .......

            Lionel Hampton is the king of the vibes... haven't got time to do any digging and don't know any of his signature tracks / albums...

            EDIT - Anna's cross-posted the answer
            "...the isle is full of noises,
            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              Lionel Hampton had a strong interest in Judaism and raised a lot of money for Israel. In 1953 he composed the King David suite and performed it in Israel with the Boston Pops Orchestra. He later became a Christian Scientist rather than converting to Judaism. Bit of trivia.

                My computer just crashed at the stupidity of my last response. There's the "innate hostility of inanimate objects", but when they start to mock you, it's time to call it quits!

                As for L, I am afraid I must pass the mantLe to someone more consistentLy deserving. Any takers? Whilst we are on L, I think a Listen to Ligeti's Lontano when I get home in an unLit room may be in order.

                Bon chance mes amis.

                    Sounds like an example of what Cloughie called a 'Caliban-style FACTOID'

                            PS: Your comment has made me check out Ammy's vital statistics - heading for 6,000 posts, ygad!! I'd honestly never noticed.... We have some ground to make up!

                              Boys, Boys, stop fighting!! (Boys? Oh Come On, how can you still be referred to as Boys at your age?) You know, I blame it on Class Warfare, an Honest Grammar School Oik versus the worst of Dave Cameron's Posh Boy sub-culture!

                              Anyway, the L is up for grabs, feel free to throw your bonnets over the windmill. I shall be offline shortly for the evening, it matters not to me as to who grabs the bridesmaid's bouquet.
