      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          Igor Stravinsky did an arrangement of La Marseillaise. Sort of....Dumbarton Oaks was commissioned to be played in a room with a.o. a painting(s?) by El Greco.

          Any good?

            I've found a string quartet subtitled El Greco, by a composer of a certain nationality, but haven't been able to tie-in the other clues

                Good Morning antongould - and everybody else!
                The Nietzsche piece I had in mind was actually 'Hymnus an das Leben', (Hymn To Life) but you'd clearly done enough for us to move on to 'I' - about which I currently have no idea .

                      Does the orchestra have to have those three words in its title?

                      Or could it be - for instance - the French National Orchestra... which could lead us to Inghelbrecht who founded it as the Orchestre national de la Radiodiffusion française

                      Ah I think I'm getting there... Inghelbrecht composed an orchestral piece called El Gréco

                      I'm sure he conducted the Marseillaise many times...

                        Looks like you got your coleslaw from this tub, cali.



                        Can't see any ref to La Marseillaise but looking at his composing talents and his conducting activities I would guess he probably did an interesting arrangement of the anthem and his orchestra opened concerts with it. (possibly matching the Halle under Barbirolli with the National Anthem).
