                          none of that - straightforward three composers of those works, those composers connected to a ........ place ..... which should hopefully give it away

                            Ah! So not so much "word plays" as "Mystery plays"? (And not in the Miss Marple sense?)

                                Struggling with La Venexiana (other than wondering if it has something to do with the York Early Music Festival of 1985?) - but

                                John Godfrey studied Composition at the University of York, and wrote Call of the Carolina Parakeet for the Crash Ensemble in 2005.

                                Martin Wesley-Smith, likewhere educated, wrote Weapons of Mass Distortion in 2003.
