1888 symphonic suite by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov based on The Book of One Thousand and One Nights (12)

I believe the answer is:

scheherazade

(Other definitions for scheherazade that I've seen before include "1001 Nights storyteller" , "One thousand and one Nights storyteller" , "Arabian storyteller" , "Colourful orchestral work by Rimsky-Korsakov" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
