RM this was a tester. I think I've found the answer: Job.
Parry's oratorio by that name was premièred in Gloucester Cathedral during the 1892 TCF.
RVW's version ('A Masque for Dancing') gave me problems, as it was premièred in London - but then I found that was the danced version. Its concert version was premièred in Norwich at the Festival there in 1931
Petr Eben wrote a "Job" but that's too late.
More work to do...

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

I thought there was a comedians overture - but wiki says it's a suite
well done on Job, I found the Norwich one but couldn't find any others - so gave it up as a bad jobLast edited by mercia; 03-09-12, 07:16.Comment

That's a suite-sounding idea... Stick with that...
RM's not a million miles away with his 'lovers' guess, either. (The Norns on the other hand are nothing to do with it.)"...the isle is full of noises,
