158 Perhaps I should let on that the composer shared a sporting interest with a cetain Termite Lover. [/quote] I guess that rules out my guess at Tippett. MT and rugby? Hello?! |

Damn, no sooner do I find that Heather Harper sang on an English-language recording of Jeanne d'Arc au būcher than harmonyharmony pips me to it...  |

I'm going to have a stab at 158 too: Tippett, The Mask of Time?
Sorry, I passed straight by that one as it appeared to have no conceivable connection with the clip posted. Still, at least you had a stab, martle, rather than merely going on about maybe having a stab.  How does one respond to such equivocation as that displayed by hh? By treating it as an official stab! Come on, Bryn, give him the points... |

Tony, 161 is Prokofiev but I'm bulgared if I know what... Then why not consider his orchestral works? (It is nothing Bulgarian.) And are you not tempted by the offer of two for the price of one? |

Mr Watson begs to inform Mr Grew that his puzzle 162 has indeed been solved by Mr Inquisitor (Prokofiev Winter Bonfire) here: http://r3ok.myforum365.com/index.php?topic=2508.msg95068#msg95068though he admits it might not have been clear from that message. |

Thank you Mr. Watson; we have now entered the result into the table of recent puzzles. In fact - we hope Mr. Inquisitor does not mind too much - we have awarded the points to the admittedly somewhat slipshod Mr. Sudden because we thought the way he put it was "near enough for jazz" to coin a phrase.

On the one hand we were a little distance from the official title and have no great need for the points. On the other hand Member Inquisitor can hardly be said to be short of points himself. We are happy with whatever decision Member Watson, Member Grew and Honour between them should require. Member Bryn, your duelling mandoline and clavicembalo would appear to be erroneously placed... |

Hmm, having all sorts of problems with this laptop this morning. Files reported as unavailable at SendSpace. Wrong threads getting linked to ... . I will try posting Puzzle 167 in the right place, once more. If that fails, it's a reboot for this machine.

Anxious to rid ourselves of the burden of puzzles 148 and 153 left lying around un-nibbled for far too long we provide to-day a few hints intimations and suggestions. One of the extracts depicts a very gloomy situation indeed, while the other is we regret to say a poor recording of a rather wearisome fugue. Here are the two men responsible: The life-time of one fell entirely within the life-time of the other. One of them reached the age of ninety-three; the other only forty-three. One extract was written in 1895 and the other in 1913. They were both organists. |

Indeed, Mr Grew, that seems entirely fair. Puzzle No.164 is from a very familiar piece from the standard orchestral repertoire! |

Here is a stab in the dark for Puzzle 164. Strauss - Domestic Symphony.
(Just trying to respond to a clue.)

164: it's not even American, is it, let alone Copland or Ives. Somthing suggests Italian to me, Mr Recently returned from Rome Inquisitor. Respighi? |
