To Bob Florence et al:
I think Darcy is right. It may be possible to remain under the radar
for something like this, but if you do get caught, it is not legal
and surely problematic.
Fortunately for those of us who like doing things like this - using
familiar material in new and challenging ways, there are more and
more wonderful tunes falling into public domain. I write
arrangements of them all the time and have a great time doing it.

What is the legal precedent for "Fair Use" in this case --
quotation of copyrighted music in an original composition?
I was under the impression that this sort of thing falls clearly
outside the boundaries of "fair use" -- that even extremely brief
musical quotes need to be cleared with the copyright holder.
