    Or even Ionesco...
    "...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..."

      2. The composer and timpanist: Wiki.Fr tells us that

      Dominique Probst est un compositeur et percussionniste français né à Paris en 1954....

      Brother of Jean-Claude Casadesus, rather a good conductor.

      Anyway - Probst wrote 'Maximilien Kolbe' in 1988 to an unpublished libretto by Ionesco.

      EDIT:

      And

      3. The Thoughts: there's a Detroit-based band called Thoughts of Ionseco http://www.amazon.co.uk/For-Detroit-...9&sr=8-1-spell

              André Jolivet became the musical director of the Comédie Française in 1945, a post he held until 1959. He wrote for the ondes martenot, e.g., Concerto for Ondes Martenot and orchestra (1947) and Pastorales de Noël, for flute, bassoon, and harp (1943)

                Oh I say, that's awfully well played!

                Correct in every respect

                            I'm doing a Northender and counting backwards...

                            ...

                            Ahem... well done, Wilson, I wondered how long it would take you to spot that...

                              Well, there's Lulu and the Killers ...Beethoven's 'Eroica' features on the soundtrack of 'The Killers', and Martin Rohde's on the track of a killer...but I'm sure it's not that straightforward. And - I'm guessing here - at least one person gets killed in Berg's 'Lulu'.
                              EDIT: Lulu kills and is killed, yes?
