For 434 I'll try Nebuchadnezzar by George Dyson.
I'm glad 444 was OK as I didn't bother to look up the opus number. And I've mended the links to my latest puzzles, which I expect will be much harder. Inscrutable almost.

For 433, how about Symphony no 1 - "Oliver Cromwell" by Rutland Boughton? Cromwell, Nebuchadnezzar and Othello. I don't think I need to point out the connection as it's so obvious.  |

Is incorrect, I'm afraid. Cromwell, Nebuchadnezzar and Othello. I don't think I need to point out the connection as it's so obvious.  |

A first clue for #430: I had little choice but to cut off the snatch where I did, as immediately thereafter the chorus intones the name of the work, which is based on an ancient text.
I can't seem to listen to this one. Is it Penderecki's Stabat Mater (1962) ? edited to add italics. It is not. The text, though famous, is far older than that, and is sung in translation from a language deader even than Latin. |

433 is Don Carlos by Kapp.
All operas by Verdi. I don't always think of Nebuchadnezzar and Nabucco as the same!

Yes, indeed, Mr Watson, Kapp's overture on the Schiller drama Don Carlos - 433-5 were all works which share the same titles as Verdi operas, not that the operas would be allowed here of course! You can hear clips of works by the Kapp family here. |
