Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux (1938 - 85) Mandala 1 & 2 (1980).

Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux, composer of, amongst other works, Mandala I and Mandala II

Mercia got the first two (possibly easier ones), fhg found the last. I leave you to duel it out as to who serves T.

It's a particularly hectic weekend, and I had never heard of either Saint-Georges or Saint-Marcoux (whom I "reached" by the unscrupulous method of "googling" "Saint- . composer, mandala"!) - I would prefer to pass the "T" back to mercs, or to have an AA break until Monday afternoon before supplying scones

Does this not involve three slices of Turkey?

Naxos stalwart Idil Biret is the native of Turkey who performed the Beethovenian feat mentioned.

A fellow by the name of John Davison, an American born in Turkey, composed Arthur's Return in 1983, for bagpipes and string orchestra

And K219 is Mozart's 5th violin concerto with that odd helping of Turkey sandwiched in the last movement...
