I've a sneaky feeling we are talking Scarlett. Working on it (when I should be in bed! )

No, a much more common name.

turn the clock back 150 years and we might go to a concert and not recognise any of the composers' names

Alice Mary Smith 1839-1884

The Masque of Pandora (1875)
Ode to the Passions (1882)
The Valley of Remorse
Ode to the North-East Wind [rather a precise wind direction]

some of which lying in the vaults of Novello & Co presumably - two symphonies recorded by Chandos apparently

three symphonies

Puzzled here* and pursuing two routes. At first I thought it was an unseasonal but arguably (on 4th July) topical US holiday puzzle: T for Thanksgiving - Ives's 1917 New England Holidays Symphony has a fourth movement called Thanksgiving...

But then I thought it's more likely to be T for Twelfth:

Shostakovich's 12th is "The Year 1917"
Hovhaness's 12th ("Choral") includes a part for waterfall recording ad libitum
Milhaud's 12th ("Rurale") has a fourth movement with the direction Lumineux

*Less puzzled by the end of typing this.... Bracing myself to click 'Post Quick Reply' and find scb has got there in the meantime with one of his three-word specials

T for Twelfth

indeed T for 12th not a very scintillating question but at least I've learnt all about Ives Holidays as a consequence
all details consummately & comprehensively delivered

I am too busy today to set questions so I waited to see how long it would take someone else to find an answer.

A particularly good value U this, linking someone on a bike in Montmartre at night, with Sea Pictures and the Kalevala

O Lor, is it?!

I must have been head down in the nose-bag that round

I'd never heard of the bugger!
