I'm hearing echoes (rubbernecker #580)

Aaahaaaa!
Folks seem to be offline, so I'll check again later this morning. Perhaps it will be clear by then whether 'C' has been satisfactorily unravelled/answered and who's setting 'D'? (I have a question ready, if required, but it can keep. I've checked #2553, by the way, and can confirm that the answer has not featured previously).

You do it. After all, you did get Callisto...Calisto....Callisto..

I'd say go for it, Ofca. (Un)fortunately I will be out on a mountain walk with the missus so won't be back until late afternoon.

OK folks!
This question was prompted by a recent obituary.
Which 'D' might you associate with Molineux, Stonehenge and Whitehall Palace? (None of the three composers involved begins with 'D').

Well I know that Dean Richards who used to play there died at the end of February but I'm not sure if that's relevent.

Stonehenge = Standing Stone = Paul McCartney

[Norfolk Born]

Stonehenge is occasionally the scene of some 'D'. The subject of the obituary was a composer. The other two composers involved are also no longer with us.

Druidical hokum = Die erste Walpurgisnacht / Mendelssohn

John Barry died recently and he scored Dances with Wolves (Molineux) ?

[mercia]

Stonehenge / Sacrificial Dance - Stravinsky, Rite of Spring

Ritual Dances - Midsummer Marriage - Tippett

[Norfolk Born]

You're on your way, Anna! Having got one example of 'D', you should now be in a position to identify the other two, as I think the Molineux reference was the trickiest.

[Anna]

I'm struggling with Druids here look you!! The Whitehall Palace, would that be Britten's Gloriana with Courtly Dances?

Piece of trivia: There is a Spinal Tap song called Stonehenge.

2 out of 3! Any D at Stonehenge might be limited to one particular day of the year...

Oh Dear! I was hoping that last answer was wrong! So, one particular day means either Solstice or Equinox or Vernal in the title? Sorry, the Bards are not responding to me, I fear I cannot go any further at the mo, best I can come up with is Bax Dance of Sunlight Anyone want to step in and finish it and have an E? Where is Tapiola when you need him?

[Norfolk Born]

I wouldn't want to deprive you of the chance of setting us an 'E' question. Think of a set of dances from a work by an English composer the title of which evokes the most important day of the year at Stonehenge.
