Jupiter from Holst's Planets!
Hmmm, it's not the one I'm looking for but I'm realizing now that you mention it that those four notes do exist in that order in the midst of the slow 3/4 theme from Holst's Jupiter, don't they? Maybe not in the right key... I'm not sure. So I think we have to give you credit for that one.

However in the symphony I'm looking for, the theme consists soley of those 4 notes, in concert pitch, in that order (C-D-F-E). And this theme all over the place in one particular movement, not hidden or disguised in any way. someone's gotta get this soon.

TD -- Tenderly -- of course! I never thought of that one. Good catch.
