Daniel,
You da man! Two hits there, and I suspect people may now start to get the connection....
Tallis
Faure
Neilsen
Leo Sowerby - Forsaken of Man
Robin Walker - I Thirst
Schubert - Unfinished Symphony
Jonathan Harvey
Tommo
So... Tallis - In Manus Tuas Faure - In Paradisum Neilsen - Moderen [The Mother] Leo Sowerby - Forsaken of Man Robin Walker - I Thirst Schubert - Unfinished Symphony Jonathan Harvey - Passion and Resurrection Baz |

I had come up with the following, assuming the connection to be the Seven Last Words:
Tallis -Forgive me Lord my Sin
Faure - In Paradisum
Neilsen - The Mother (op 41)
Leo Sowerby - Forsaken of Man
Robin Walker - I Thirst
Schubert - Unfinished Symphony
Jonathan Harvey - In Quest of Spirit (This is the odd one out because it is a book by the composer?)

Sorry Baz, but Daniel is closer than you. Nearly a full house, but the Harvey is not quite there. (It's actually one of his Cantatas.) So.... the connection, the odd one out, and how many works can you find that demonstrate the connection.....? Tommo |

Is the Jonathan Harvey his Cantata X (Spirit Music)?
Is the odd one out Schubert, as his symphony is unfinished, yet the 'last word' is It is finished (John 19:30)?!
As well as Haydn's Seven Last Words, there is also James MacMillan's choral work, Seven Last Words from the Cross, Schutz's Die sieben Worte Jesu Christi am Kreuz, SWV 478 and Theodore Dubois' oratorio Les sept paroles du Christ.

Well Anty, it was a little more specific than just "seven". Giving you 7 thinks to link might have meant an answer of "seven" was a little too easy.... Tommo |

Some more 'Seven Last Words' I could track down... For what it's worth, Stockhausen's Michaels Reise um die Erde (a work with which I have been busying myself of late) takes the form of a series of scenes some of which are numbered as stations. The last two scenes are Crucifixion and Ascension. Crucifixion consists of a fortissimo pointillist texture spread between two clarinets and two trombones. At the end that all comes to a halt for seven bars each with just a single note in it (there are some grace notes but they're all in octaves to the main note). The series of 7 bars starts at 666. What it's worth is of course very little but I thought there was the outside chance it might amuse.  (...and here we are in rehearsal: two poor defenceless swallows just trying to have a bit of fun being taken down by two burly trombonists. No costumes as yet. Opening in Vienna on the 12th...) |

Looks a bit precarious up there, Mr S! Here's a new connection to solve...should be quite straightforward! Shostakovich Vaughan Williams Satie Ives |
