Even Mr. Inquisitor's puzzle 306 will expire at 6 p.m. to-day.

Okay, a wild guess for this, Ibert's Chanson du Depart from Chansons de Don Quichotte?

It's clue time again.
Remember:
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).

Is 325 taken from Charpentier's Lecons de Tenebres?

No, Baz, but you've clearly taken the clues as they were intended to be taken!

329 is this:

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

Baz


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

Baz

You are correct on both counts, Mr Iron!

Then would 325 be from Charpentier's Ouverture pour l'Eglise H.524?

Well then 325 the Ouverture from Charpentier's pastorale sur la naissance de notre seigneur Jésus-christ?

Actually it's not an Ouverture at all, but another genre altogether.

Now then, come on you indolent lot, what about:


Puzzle 296


Played on French hunting horns, though not by a Frenchman. Mind you, it was not his back that was turned when they made up that famous beefsteak dish and named it after him. They didn't need to chase after him with it, either.

     

Puzzle 293


Come on, famous American orchestra, nearly seven thousands of miles from home, plays Puzzle 293, then follows it up with a piece Stravinsky got in hot water for arranging, though it was not his arrangement they played on this historic occasion.  Later on they played some Gershwin about an American away from home, though that American did not go to the same city, or continent even.

293:  North Korean National Anthem played by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Lorin Maazel?  (Hmmm. If it is, I expect you want the title of the North Korean Anthem. No idea. 'Hail to thee, North Korea'? No, probably not.)

You are well on the way, George. The title is easily found.

Which is the same title as the South Korean anthem and indeed sounds quite similar.

Oh no!!!!! an offtopic post to the Test thread! Er, here's another clue for 333 - the first performance (and recording) of this work consisted of what is now only its first half.

293: The Patriotic Hymn.

I guess that , as its a matter of translation, "Patriotic Hymn" is close enough. I have "Patriotic Song".

Anyway, full marks to martle please, SCGrew. He has worked hard for then against hard competitione from, ... , well he deserves them anyway.
