#4 At the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, American gymnast Auriole Craven performed her floor routine while simultaneously playing the violin solo from "The Lark Ascending" by Ralph Vaughn Williams. While her gymnastic routine was neither complex nor notably well performed, the degree-of-difficulty multiplier to her score insured a gold medal. A protest filed by the Italian and Swiss delegations was denied, but a subsequent rules change banned musical instruments from the gymnastics competition in future Olympiads.

#5 Isn't that Rafe Vaughn Williams?

And I want to know what Lark was it and where it was ascending.
