Are there "Horse Verdi", "Soap Puccini" and so forth?  Maybe -- I'm neither
a Western nor a Soap fan -- but I rather doubt it.  You could stretch the
definition, I guess, to call _Of_ _Mice_and_Men_ the equine equivalent of
_Wozzeck_ and like that.

If you find the Space forms of _Carmina_Burana_ or Mozart's _Requiem_, tell
me.
