I like the RVW!

And someday I do want to hear the Holst . . . after I've finished my own setting of the text . . . .

I look forward to hearing your version of The Mystic Trumpeter, Karl!  :)

Strauss' Locomotive Train Polka....do you mean the schnell-polka Vergnügungszug?

It must be Vergnügungszug, then, it's the only one  featuring the choo-chooing of the train (Eduard Strauss' Bahn Frei and Ohne Aufenthalt don't do it); otherwise there's Copenhagen Steam Railway, but it's a galop and it's by Lumbye.....

The Sea Symphony.

But then again, maybe I am voting for Walt Whitman!

Is this the Chattanooga Cho Choo?

You might get a few more votes for Choice #4 if you change it to "John Cage matched with a very large and hungry anaconda"
