NTT: Some of the orchestration and melodic contours put me in mind of Dvořák, so I'll make Czech basket with him, Smetana, and Janáček. Not sure that any of them would fit the hint, though...
NTT: Will’s generous hint has provided me no assistance. I was reminded a bit of Vaughan Williams, but I think that might be because I want to hear VW. So, maybe I should go more French? There were a lot of students at the Conservatoire. So I’ll throw in Fauré and for funsies, even though I really don’t know his stuff, D’Indy….I now expect to be wildly off base.

I don't much comment on other people's guesses, but I'll make an exception to say that you are correct...
...in your assertion that you are wildly off base.
Good!!!
