You're all getting there. It's an english composer but from an unfinished opera not ballet.
I did think that the style at the end of the clip would give it away :)

Not Elgar's 'Spanish Lady'?

Amfortas,
You are correct! Well done.
It's from an old BBC music magazine cover disc. Excerpts from the opera came along with the sketches for the 3rd symphony which predated Anthony Paynes realisation of the aforementioned.

I leave it up to you as to who goes next.

:o Wow, Thanks. That was a good clip. I thought of Elgar at first, because I know he had orchestrated some of Bach...but your last clues led me right in...And I do remember that BBC Magazine disc!

I will post a clip within the next 90-120 minutes, so please be patient....

Right place at the right time for me, since I've not been here for days - Nielsen's Little Suite, Op.1.  I'm even going to guess that those snappy accents and polished strings belong to the SFSO and maestro Blomstedt.

Ah, that was too easy.

By the way, it's the I Musici recording on Philips

Bedtime now on this side of the Atlantic.  I have something interesting in mind for tomorrow.

Now, in a slight change to the accepted format, I've posted two pieces - the first is the real mystery, but because the one always reminds me of the other whenever I hear it (and vice-versa), I've included the other to see whether anyone else agrees that they are spookily similar.  Apparently they were composed at exactly the same time, so influence one way or the other seems unlikely.  Extra points for identifying both pieces.

First clip makes me think of Britten and does sound familiar


In the second I hear what must be an English chorus singing, but can't guess the piece yet

1 Arvo Pärt - something ?
2 not a part/Pärt -song, but a Kyrie by someone, possibly from a mass?

Amfortas is right with Britten - I only wish it sounded familiar to everyone, as Britten string quartets (oops - given away the piece now - the very start of no.1) are to my mind a shamefully neglected part of his œuvre.  The other non-mystery "soundalike", written a year later and presumably in ignorance of Britten's work, was for a British institution (Worcester cathedral) but by a Hungarian - the Kyrie from the Missa Brevis by Kodály.

Ah, I should have recognized the Kodály as well, although I have not heard it in years.

By the way, I like your quote  :D

Is that a Russian quote by the bassoon in the middle of the clip?  (Tchai. 4th finale) - not a Tchaikovsky guess.

Could be, I did not notice it.
