    Bang bang! Two down, one to go.

    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

      What about Victoria? Feria VI in Passione Domini. But any talk of magic and witchcraft would be denounced him...
      Not Revueltas or Victoria. 'Magic' is an adjective and part of the title.

        FYI the piece in question was a commission by the amazing Louisville Orchestra in the '50s
        "...the isle is full of noises,

          Magical Feria Overture, Carlos Surinach?

              A very devious and diverting F, Caliban. Your apparent acquaintance with Surinach and Lindberg was particularly impressive

              Go for it Ferney...

                Yes!

                So:

                Ravel: 'Féria', the 4th movement of 'Rapsodie Espagnole'
                Magnus Lindberg: 'Feria' for orchestra (1997)
                Carlos Surinach: 'Feria Magica' (1950)

                fhg - you may have avoided the F but the G's all yours...
                "...the isle is full of noises,
                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

                    I do like a spot of Surinach, as it goes, rubbers...

                    I confess to never having heard or heard of the Lindberg.

                    I always get Magnus Lindberg mixed up with a trombone virtuoso of the same or similar name... Does nayone else suffer from the same problem? *

                    Pleased to have diverted you and floored Cloughie



                    EDIT: the trombonist is Christian Lindberg. No sign can I find of him being related to Magnus. FHG good thing you got that, ML studied at Darmstadt with your partial namesake...

                      Wasn't he the guy who put a horn in a trombone and played Mozart?

                        Indeed, and without your hint about the Finnish piece being recent, the penny wouldn't've dropped! (I don't know the Surinach, and had never heard of him previously - but the Lindberg is a very enjoyable and approachable work: a sort of musical James MacMillan to plagiarize Beecham .)

                        What G is the common originator of

                        Exercise to refresh the spirits
                        E major - C major
                        a Venetian Flute Concerto

                          Gluck is too obvious.

                            Being obvious has never inhibited me before, but it's not Gluck.
