    No "saint", and "Ascension" is the right composer, but wrong cycle of works. (There aren't the hours in the day.)

      Yes.
      From a song or something?
      An operatic cycle - but not the one alluded to by mercs.

          Ah! Donnerstag aus Licht - Thursday & Light in there - includes a character called Michael !!
          "...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..."

                  - accompanied by a 45min Trumpet Concerto called Michael's Journey Round the World (in German; but the robots'll get me if I give the, err, long-winded original!)

                  So, with coleslaw:

                  A trio of Michaels:

                  George M(originally Panayiotou)
                  M Berkeley
                  M, the central character in Stockhausen's Licht cycle.

                  Honourable mentions to Anna and cloughie, but I think Cali got to the most elements (the M and Mr Wham straightaway, the others after Anna and cloughie's nudges) so, if they do not object, Cali's Next.

                      Very neat puzzle, Mr F

                      Here's a little something I had stashed away

                      Which N links Günter Wand and Frederick Delius with a little village in Suffolk called Little Cornard?

                                Delius wrote North Country Sketches

                                Wand was Chief Conductor of The North German Radio Symphony Orchestra

                                'Little Cornard' is the title of the tune by Martin Shaw which accompanies the hymn 'Hills of the North Rejoice'
