Clues to Puzzle 326...
This work was 'completed' in 2000. The object of its attention - being in temporary dislocation between 1979 and 1999 - was recently demoted in status. It is, nonetheless, known for its powers of 'renewal'.
Could it in that case be Colin Matthews' superfluous composition Pluto?

Indeed it is - and (at least to me) it doesn't sound that much like Holst (even if it's not supposed to). Well done Richard.

Thankfully now that the scoring can be done at the touch of a button we have the opportunity to download some of the items.

So - is not Mr. Thompson's 287 from Elgar's Violin Concerto?

It's clue time again.
Remember:
Quote from: richard barrett on 14:45:19, 12-03-2008
325 is believed to be the first piece of that title (which isn't "symphony", by the way) to be composed in France.

327 is from a vocal piece.
The composer of 325 has the same surname as another who floruit about two hundred years later.

327 is explicitly concerned with the opening of a book.

The language of the sung text of 333 is used in only two compositions to have gained any degree of currency (though the other one is rather better known than this one).

HERE or HERE is puzzle 338, a masterpiece which should be widely known.

Clues for these two:

Puzzle 329

Puzzle 330

329 is described as a ballet as part of a larger work. There could be a sting in the tail.

The composer of 330 died after being taken ill at West Croyden station.

A wild guess at 330:

Samuel Coleridge Taylor's Violin Concerto.

Absolutely spot on, Member Grew.  Yehudi (age 14) and the LSO under the composer.

Many thanks for furnishing me with multitudes of bonus points.

Well, how about his Petite Suite de Concert, then?

329 is this:

Vaughan-Williams, The Wasps (Aristophanes), movement 5 (the last theme).

And would 330 be Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Ballade in A Minor?
