          No - but thanks for making me aware of his existence.
          Let's see if the night shift and/or the early risers come up with anything before I proffer a clue or two.

              That tells me it isn't Dark either.

                  if Adams had written a Divertimento, I would offer that
                  if Berkeley had included a Doctor in something, I would offer that

                      I think I saw a dinner in Berkeley's opus
                      Lennox Berkeley (1903-1989): A Dinner Engagement, opera in due scene, libretto di Paul Dehn, op.45 (1954) -- City of London Sinfonia diretta da Richard Hicko...

                      alternatively the internet tells me Mozart had a dog called Bimps

                        Forget the dog, concentrate on dinner.

                          Maybe there is yet another John Adams?
