Puzzle 482 HERE and HERE is something rather seminal for orchestra. . . . Watch out! It is loud at the beginning.

Puzzle 483 (HERE and HERE) is a twentieth-century classic we hope is in every one's collection.

The best way to cope should you feel an attack of the syncopations coming on is to have a lie down and listen to this. Puzzle 484, HERE and HERE, and our last for to-day.

It is indeed. Eight hundred points to Mr. Daniel for coming up with the solution prior to the issuance of hints.

I do believe I might have got one without a clue. Puzzle 475: Stravinsky Persephone?

Indeed it is so: Strawinski's excursion into Symbolism the product of  long collaboration with the author of the Immoralist. Had the Member been on our list as a points person he would have received eight hundred thereof.

Must return to the fray.
Puzzle 472
Composer living in Berlin, already been guessed. Drones used very frankly. Third clue: the title describes the piece as Schubert might have done: a cardinal number, an adjective describing area of origin, and the word for the genre, as in Zwoelf Deutsche Lieder.

Not sure where I'm going to put them all, but thanks anyway, Mr Grew.

1) Hint for puzzle 478: This unfamiliar music is the work of a man who was born in Karlsruhe in 1901 and studied under both Schoenberg and Berg in the 1920s. One of his later works, written in 1969 and entitled Paralipomena Dodekaphonica, is a set of twelve-note variations on a theme of Joseph Haydn. Because he is so rarely played these days, we might add that his surname begins with the letter 'A'.

2) Hint for puzzle 480: Its composer was born at Bournemouth in 1848. Our puzzle is the beginning of a fine work setting for chorus and orchestra Milton's At a Solemn Musick.

We expect several Members will know Puzzle 480 (HERE and HERE); we apologize for the poor quality - it probably comes from "Listen Again".


This is really familiar, and going to annoy me.  Is it Elgar Symphony No.1?

Sorry Mr. Thompson, it is not Elgar. It looks as though you missed the hint in the message immediately preceding yours: the composer was born in Bournemouth in 1848 it says there.
