    "...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..."

      Katia Labeque was married to John McLaughlin, Marielle Labeque to Bychkov.

      Intrigued by your response to "indoors"?

        Ah so my Labeque related guess was right!

        Yes your answer is tantalising.. I could put you out of your misery now, or string it out. What mood's everyone in?

            Is everyone glued to Top Gear, or are clues required?!

              Did you give one with the "string" reference in #15003?

              If not (in fact, even if so!) a clue might jog the grey cells.

                No, 'string' was not a clue.

                I'll say what I was going to include in the question anyway, namely that the anthem and tone poem are English, and the suite Australian

                      You're ...sweet for trying, ammy but no.

                      Ferney, could you explain your #15008?

                        The "Australian" clue did it! Percy Grainger's "succinct suite" In a Nutshell

                        Having problems closer to home; is the Tone Poem by Bax?

                          I wondered what all that "Little Suites for Strings" guff was about... Thought you might be barking up the wrong tree.

                          Yes "In a Nutshell" is element #3.

                          Not Bax.

                          You're looking for titles starting with the same "I" word...

                              Oooh ammy not what's on the card, but it works too

                              Incidentally, the Richard Strauss link suggested by mercia made me think of "Aus Italien" = "In Italy"...

                              Shall I give the names of the two remaining composers, or are you enjoying ferreting around? Ferney's got the J in any event
