Not *really* answering your question C, but... There is a brilliant album by the artist Wechsel Garland (Jorg Follert) on German label Morr Music. The music was originally composed by Jorg specifically for a German ballet, which was performed in Bonn early last year. He subsequently extended the tracks and released them as the aforementioned self-titled album.
