Nielsen Symphony No. 6 "Sinfonia semplice" - The last note is a sustained low B-flat raspberry on two bassoons.
Górecki Symphony No. 3 - 3rd movement Lento—Cantabile Semplice. I think he won a prize for this, but am still looking.
Britten -Simple Symphony, dedicated to Audrey Alston (Mrs Lincolne Sutton), Britten's viola teacher during his childhood.

A T from: A nose flute, a masked man, and a Caped antipodean singer songwriter

Lone Ranger ?

Sorry, had to walk the dogs. Not Wm Tell. Keep on with your first idea. And yes, Cape it is (you are getting into my mind )

various Lone Ranger films and a Suggs album

Todd/Tonto/Texas or perhaps the T doesn't lie here

meanwhile any old nose flute, or one in particular I wonder

what breed of dog do you have ?
