Let's try Dvorak's Requiem Mass Op. 89 Very good Mr. Iron and very rapid too. Now - we are thinking of introducing a new rule according to which each solver of one puzzle is obliged to submit two new puzzles of his own (according to the mathematical rule of rabbit reproduction). That would be an unusually (for you Mr Grew) silly rule! Like one of those endless chain letters, there would always be twice as many puzzles to solve than correct answers that can be provided. There is, as with rabbit reproduction, a serious danger that this 'fun' competition might become strangulated with mixomatosis! Baz |

For those who are unaware of it, there is a useful online tool to help identify musical themes HERE. If the third option is selected, the page that appears is THIS. You can input notes of a theme in any key - try (for example) entering the notes eeecdddb into the box, and don't be surprised to discover that it identifies Beethoven's 5th Symphony. You could, of course, have entered the notes aaafggge to get the same result. BUT...unless the work is what Barlow and Morgenstern would have deemed "repertoire" it will not return a useful result. Give it a try. Baz |

No, Mr Iron. We believe 490 to be Messiaen: Et Exspecto Resurrectionem Mortuorum Very good Mr. Martle - commissioned by the French government in 1964 and dedicated to the dead of two world wars, the work was on one occasion performed in Chartres cathedral in the presence of General de Gaulle. One can only wonder whether this (at last) brought a smile to his face. Baz |

Bother! We would certainly have got that one. Indeed we heard it in concert on Friday night. Not as convincing as L'Ascension was in the second half though.
We recently played a piece by that Mr Ferneyhough, conducted by the gentleman who played the tam-tams in the first performances of Et Exspecto. We of course had him sign our copy of the score under one of the tam-tam crescendos to quintuple forte.
(From that, interested Members could no doubt were they inclined work out where we were on Friday and who played tam-tams in the first performance of Et Exspecto...)

We welcome Mr Sudden back unto the fold! He should perhaps be apprised of the wisdom that holds that 'you have to get up pretty early in the morning to outsmart an alert martle'. Or else, refrain from his galavanting. We wonder who is the gentleman to whom he refers. A consulatation with Mr Google beckons we may dare say!

Then you might have been in the Salle Pleyel in Paris, Mr S?
And the name of the Tam-Tam player is therefore ... [er, hang on a bit, this may take a little longer]

The Salle Pleyel it was, Member Garnett.
Indeed, Member Martle, long ago did we note that one must spend time online to have much of a chance in online quizzes!
We suspect that the assistance of the kind and expert Mr Google together with the knowledge of our IRL moniker which we suspect Members Martle and Garnett to have should indeed do the trick. We are happy on the other hand to vouchsafe at no extra charge the knowledge that the bells in the first performance of Et exspecto were played by a certain Jean Paul Finkbeiner.
We wonder which recording of Et exspecto was posted by Member Grew? We find it a bit elusive of identification under the mp3 gurgles...

Despite having the inclination and several hours in conference with Mr Google we have failed to identify the tam-tam player/conductor in question. Could you perhaps reveal his identity, Mr S, to give an old man peace of mind? |

Which old man needs to know, George? He could surely ask for himself...  You can tell him, though, that should he wish to find out he is most welcome to browse the website of the Köln ensemble in which we play. Perhaps you could direct him to the concert listings for 2008? |

Congratulations go out to Mr. Iron who yesterday reached the goal of 27,500 points. His rewards are twofold: a) his points total has been reset to nought and b) his name will henceforth be graced with the signification "W5".
First rate Mr. Iron!
Of course ambition practically means that if one is to shoulder to the front one must push other people out of the way; one must fight for one's own hand. To succeed at no one's expense is possible only to persons of very high character and genius.
