    Alphabet Associations - III

    Is there any enthusiasm for a new round of Alphabet Associations?

    I know that at this time of year we often had Classical Associations, but I confess to having found that rather tiresome: we kept going round in (Shaker) loops or having such abstruse associations that they were lost on many contributors.

    Advent is the season of the Great Os (O root of Jesse, etc), so I thought that instead of launching with A I'd start with an O.
    I hope it's an easy enough one to get things going again.

    Albert can't see the wood for the trees, Ralph is riding the waves, and the Maestro has become prophetic.

    Who are the composers, what are the works, and what O connects them?

    (PS: If the thread takes off, maybe a host with title editing permission can add a dash for consistency with rounds I and II; sorry!)

    I put in the dash, but never got the hang of AA
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

      Albert Ketelby wrote An Ocean Lullaby.....and RVW set Synge's Les Chevaliers A La Mer .............and John Luther Adams thinks that we'll all Become Ocean, but I don't whether he has conducted this piece or other works.

              Ah yes, that old familiar feeling of being completely stumped!

              I’ve got as far as O vast rondure…               ​
              "...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..."

                  Wild stab in the dark... and I'm as stumped as LMcD.

                  "One" as in first symphony?
                  Albert Roussel, Symphony No. 1 in D minor "The Poem of the Forest"
                  Ralph Vaughan Williams, Symphony #1 - Sea Symphony, inc. "The Waves"
                  Giacomo Meyerbeer or Ennio Morricone???
                  ​

                    It's the right O (one: a suitable place to start, I thought ), but not the third composer.
                    I thought Maestro was a big hint!

                      Sorry, I'm out of my depth with these modern composers
                      Any chance of some more hints?

                          Right composer, wrong work! Aunt Daisy found the connection between the pieces.

                            'Prophecy' is the first movement of his symphony. No. 1

                              And the subtitle of the symphony is......?

                              Question primarily to Anton.
                              I never understood the origin of 'coleslaw', which used to be the expression used to explain the answers.
                              Perhaps he could enlighten us?
