I would tend to say
a song by Radiohead OR from Radiohead`'s new album____
a quotation by Joyce OR from Joyce's "Ulysses"
a speech by the headmaster

The fourth sentence sounds weird no matter which way you say it, unless you are taking a class by distance education and receive lessons FROM your teacher via e-mail.
