Julius Fucik ?

I just headed here too, mercia, flushed with success at answering the 'Covert' question by some google-based detective work. Reminded me I have neglected AA today...

Fucik
Orff

true, I should imagine we have to find three composers [Johan, Julius, Richard] who each wrote a work which shares a title [beginning with E]

Johan Svendsen ?
