I might include one with all brass band composers!!
Hey bbm, there's no rule you need to make these hard! I expect you are a fan of Radio 2's Listen to the Band programme? The only piece by Gilbert Vinter I have is Portuguese Party, though not by a brass band. |

Hi John W. No I'm not a fan of Listen to the Band. I am not to keen on the style its presented. Much that I admire Frank Renton and his presenting skills.
Here is one for you people!!
Eric Ball
Edward Gregson
Philip Sparke
Mussorgsky

Alistair, it there a Boston link?
Schoenberg taught there, at the Malkin Conservatory; Carter write a 'Boston Concerto' in 2002, which was conducted by Oliver Knussen. Any good?
Nice try, but no (and sorry for the long delay in responding - I've been away). Shall I reveal this one now or should I still leave it open?... |

This one's been running for long enough now for me to give a final clue that will finally put it to bed. Schönberg had an idea in his own style that manifested itself as a brief tale ending with the happy homecoming of some French fishing vessels thought to have gone missing, along with the fishermen, for several days following a great storm at sea. Carter remembered this for two people for three minutes, celebrating fifty years in so doing. Revealing that much obviates the need for me even to mention Knussen at this point, because you’ll have gotten it by now! |

I think that it must surely now be approaching "going - going - gone" time now for the Schönberg / Carter / Knussen one; go on - have just one more go and then I'll reveal all (not that it's much to reveal, really)...

OK, Alistair, I think we're there at last thanks to all your clues: The connection is Carter's Au Quai for bassoon and viola, which was inspired by Schoenberg's story 'To the Wharfs', and was written for the London Sinfonietta for Oliver Knussen's 50th birthday celebrations. Time for a new puzzle to flex your brain over the coming weekend. Connect these four composers (plenty on the subs' bench this time): Glazunov Holst Rachmaninov Sibelius |

Ok, IGI. I'll have a go tomorrow. Are we looking at - -a common word -a thematic connection -a devilish third possibility dreamt up by one of the most fiendish and ruthless quizmeister know to man, who lulls his victims into a false sense of security only to plunge the dagger in, so to speak, at every opportunity? I only ask, mind.  |

It's just a simple common word connection, o green one!! I've had little time to read/post here much lately, and even less to plot fiendish connections, but it's half-term now...  |

OK, OK, OK! Phew! What a relief that that one's over! Well done, IGI! They don't have a town crier these days in the City of Bath where I live but, if they did, I might have been having nightmares that he'd begin each of his proclamations with "OK, OK, OK!"... One might perceive a passing irony in Schönberg's story in that it might have been unwittingly suggestive of the possibility that he'd consider writing in quays again... |

Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on Greensleeves?
Unless you're looking for variations:
RVW - Variations for orchestra (arr. by G. Jacob from Variations for brass band)
Butler - Bluegrass Variations (for solo violin)
Wilby - Paganini Variations
No idea about Tim Wheeler...
Let's not forget the quartet I posted yesterday:
Glazunov
Holst
Rachmaninov
Sibelius
