Puzzle 119 was, incidentally, written by a native of the island north of the stretch of water separating England from France (if that helps?).

I can't use rapidshare Baz  Well try Sendspace then John... What-is-it?Baz You've sucked me in Baz.  Sounds like a baroque-style piece played by a saxophone quartet? You might have omitted 'style', although you have the instruments correct (i.e. for this particular performance, not for the original music!). But what is it? Baz |

I had to say style in case it was a trick question. As a first guess I'll have to think of JS Bach but as I'm really only familiar with his concertos I'll have to guess, again, at Art of Fugue  |

By all means have a go at the special Baz set for me, I'm sure Baz won't mind. I was thinking of JS Bach but don't know his work other than the concertos and I haven't got time to be looking up Amazon for Sax Qts etc

OK, John. You'll be pleased to know you got the right composer: it's Partita IX from Bach's Partite diverse sopra: O Gott, du frommer Gott, BWV 767, for organ. And it's either the composer's own arrangement for, er, a nest of chalumeaux, er  ... or it might be the arrangement for saxophone quartet by Eric Sleichim taken from this album:  More information on it here. |

Thanks opilec. I possibly could have tracked it down as my WMP revealed the clip properties to be Track 18 (of something) as Baz had provided the complete track  I'm pleased that got as far as I did. Have to say I'm familiar with the sound of a saxophone quartet having some early American 78rpm records from the late ragtime era circa 1920 and the sound of a rasping baritone sax has always been a favourite jazz sound of mine thanks to recordings featuring Adrian Rollini and one or two others. |

Puzzle 124 - Tallis's Lamentations of Jeremiah? Quite so Mr. Opilec! It is good to know that members are well up in the ancient madrigals. It is one of the most perverse things I have ever read! To think that an Honourable Member of the MB would ever refer to the Tallis Lamentations as 'MADRIGALS' - well! I really think you should behave yourself Mr Grew. |

Erm, why is it that so many of the snatches you posted and identified whilst I was on holiday were ones I knew?
Tommo
PS please may I have some points?

Surely the member realises that Tallis dates firmly from the Early Modern Period? |

Dear John W, Although very appreciative of opilec's rescue bid (and - yes - he did post the correct CD as we should have expected!), I think you could have done a little better. With that in mind, perhaps you could identify the following 'lovely' piece? Go for it! What_is_it_2Baz  |

Mr Grew, may I recommend most strongly Tasmin Little's recording of the violin sonatas of Delius.. with the pianist Piers Lane. It is truly magnificent and includes the fantastic ( my favourite) posthumous sonata that I used in my clip.
It is readily available and I do hope you will buy and enjoy!!

Some further hints for number 102: the work is a symphony of sorts. The method of the composer - who we have already said was Russian - was to manipulate "synthetic chords" - collections of six or more notes - which, through transposition to all twelve chromatic degrees, govern the "pitch-structural" plan of a work. (It may be said then that in a sense he took over from Scryabine.)
