Is Puzzle 234 Hindemith's Drei Gesänge für Sopran und Orchester op. 9? Meine Nachte sind heiser zerschrien (My nights are rent by hoarse screaming) It most certainly is. |

[ Now: firstly, this means that either 232 or 234 is also by Hindemith, which might smooth your passage towards another correct answer, and secondly here is Puzzle 271which is not by Hindemith. No, it is not. It is by Johann Jakob Froberger, the Allemande from his Partita Meditation sur ma mort future. Correct. So now I can regale you all with Puzzle 272 and Puzzle 273neither of which is by Hindemith. I shall also award myself 400 points for setting the last four Puzzles taking my total to 5796. |

Is Puzzle 234 Hindemith's Drei Gesänge für Sopran und Orchester op. 9? Meine Nachte sind heiser zerschrien (My nights are rent by hoarse screaming) It most certainly is. Hurrah! It was reasonably straightforward once the composer was known. Not being familiar with Hindemith's Kammermusik, Mr Johnson's identification of which as 247 having led to the Drei Gesänge answer, I shall try to remedy this soon. I do not know 272 but there is something very beautiful it. 273 seems familiar...perhaps it will come to me at some point. 16131 + 180 = 16311 points |

I shall hazard a guess at Mr Grew's No.266 - is it Bach's Cantata No. 210, O holder Tag, erwünschte Zeit, BWV 210? Unfortunately it is not that! Another stab at the Bach Cantata that is No.266 - Is it the Coffee Cantata BWV211? 16311 + 20 = 16331 |

A further clue re. Puzzle 235:
Some consider the title to be an allusion to a work by Honegger. Such must surely be discounted.

We have no idea what any of the thirteen outstanding puzzles set by other Members are, but we like number 273 by far the best. Let us then at least give here a good many substantial clues to our own three:
Puzzle 266: Sydney Grew the Elder dates this at 1740 - that is to say among the last of the composer's works; but Grove simply sets it in 1726 along with a lot of other cantatas.
"You have been told O Man what is good and what the Lord requires of you" - that is how the work begins.
The present extract comes from the alto aria constituting the fifth number of the cantata, and sets (in very literal translation) the following words:
"He who acknowledges God's word with a true heart God will acknowledge; for they must burn eternally who name him "Lord" solely with their lips."
We wonder whether the beautiful flute melody bore in the composer's mind any relation to the text.
Puzzle 267: The composer was the only European student of Varèse. He also shared with Messiaen an interest in spiritual concerns and a desire to widen the emotional range of music.
Puzzle 268: The composer was born in Prague and wrote eight symphonies - but our extract is not taken from a symphony.
4835 + 3 * 75 = 5060

Jolivet: Suite Rhapsodique It is not that no. Nevertheless we urge the Member to recall what is said in our first clue (reply 1622) - namely that "267 is the work of a Frenchman from the year before his expiry" - and consider whether stopping on the verge is in the circumstances really advisable. |

Time for some more clues.
The text of the vocal part which precedes the excerpt known as Puzzle 232 would be today's standards be considered grossly patriotic and indeed untrue.
Puzzle 272 is from the first movement of a symphony by a composer who has so far composed six.
Puzzle 273 exists in two guises, one of which (not the present one of course, though the passage in question would be identical anyway) would be inadmissible here on account of being part of a stage work.
... taking my points to 6021.
