Good evening, Dan! An interesting little quiz... here's my first shot: Dies Natalis - Finzi Ode to Napoleon – Schoenberg Nabucco - Verdi Calinda - Delius Appalachian Spring - Copland Red Poppy Suite - Gliere Luonnotar - Sibelius Ode for the Birthday of Queen Mary - Purcell Salome – Maxwell Davies ...making Verdi's 'Don Carlos' as the acrostic. Close? Scary new avatar, btw...  |

Dido and Aeneas - Purcell
Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise – Maxwell Davies
North Country Sketches - Delius
Chamber Symphony - Schoenberg
Aida - Verdi
Rodeo - Copland
Lo, the Full, Final Sacrifice – Finzi
Oceanides – Sibelius

Mark
Nabucco, Luonnotar and Orkney Wedding are correct.
The avatar is not mine and I've no idea where it comes from. I think there could be security issues on this MB so when this quiz is done I'm closing my account.

Mine changed, inexplicably, last week, but once I changed it back, there have been no problems. Was yours from a file on your PC or one from an Internet link/photobucket?

Mine was from a file on my PC. All very strange. Lots of unhappiness at t'other place, isn't there?
Don Carlos was very clever BTW.

More pulled threads than an old jumper! Carnage, absolue carnage. I've been out all day and when I read it, I was inclined to post an angry message, but something told me to hold back....at least here, we can delete/edit what we post!
So Don C is the linked piece?
How about:
Danzon cubano – Copland
Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise – Maxwell Davies
Nabucco - Verdi
Cello Concerto - Gliere
A Survivor from Warsaw - Schoenberg
Rollicum-Rorum (or Romance) - Finzi
Luonnotar – Sibelius
Ode on St Cecilia’s Day - Purcell
Sea Drift – Delius

Sorry, I gave you the wrong impression - Don Carlos is not the correct answer (ingenious though it is) We now have:
Copland: Danzon Cubanos
Verdi: Nabucco
Maxwell Davies: Orkney Wedding
Sibelius: Luonnotar

Oh bugler (as a certain Welsh someone once said!)!
I feel we might need another vowel, so how about:
Gliere – Ilya Muromets?
(I'm dreading the linking work being a Maxy Davy...scoured his worklist rather a lot in the past few weeks!!!)
