Puzzle 12: Grechaninov's Concerto for cello & orchestra, Op. 8?

Absolutely spot on IGI - well done! It is part of the second movement.

AUTOHARP - my apologies for not replying to your earlier posting suggesting Delius (which was wrong) but I missed it!

IGI's solution to Puzzle 12 now permits me (under the new rules) to place another, so:

PUZZLE 23

You will recognize the tune (!), but I am asking for the Title of the music you are listening to, and its composer/arranger. (It's really quite well known, so should be solved within minutes).

Quite right too Ron! (That only took a couple of minutes didn't it?)

I believe Puzzle 18 is Byrd's Mass a5. I thought immediately that it was Byrd, and an Agnus Dei but it took me some time to track down which one exactly!

Quite correct Stuart - it's the closing section ("dona nobis pacem") of the the Mass for Five Voices by Byrd. You did much better with mine than I did with yours.

That is a valiant guess, George, and even nearer to the mark than you might imagine, but alas, incorrect.  Sad

OK. Having guessed the composer on the discussion thread, I'll take the plunge:

Extract 20 is Enescu or Enesco's piano piece Carillon nocturne.

Full marks Mr. Now! It is indeed Enescu's Carillon Nocturne from his 3rd Piano Suite op.18 (1913-16). Nice isn't it?

I feel I should know IGI's puzzle 11 - is it one of Richard Wagner's laugh a minute tunes - Tannhauser?

Oh Ratz!  That means Mr. Grew will award me minus something points when I was happily coasting at -60 at having got two wrong, and I was just below the plimsoll line, as opposed to -225 previously until he changed the points rules  I think it is operatic though?  And do I get a point for the fact it is a 19th century German?

I seem to think that the overture to Rienzi has castanets - so do they occur elsewhere in the opera too?
