In the mean time HERE or HERE is a grand old lady who becomes only more beautiful with every year that passes! Fibich - Poème? |

In the mean time HERE or HERE is a grand old lady who becomes only more beautiful with every year that passes! Fibich - Poème? Quite right Mr. Now; that was quick too! It is extracted from his greater work "At Twilight," which we have sometimes seen described as a "Symphonic Scene" and at others as an "Idyll." It may interest Members to learn that Fibich came from a long line of forestry officials. |

It is Fibich's Poeme, but I believe in its guise as one of the tunes of "At Twilight". Just Lovely.
Mr Grew, I also believe you were looking into my mind, as that was also on my list of snatches to submit.
Thank you
Mr 1780

46 sounds very much like Rachmaninov - indeed the start like a Rach version of God Save the King. It isn't PC No.2 or No.3, and I don't believe it is No.1, so I will go for Piano Concerto No.4

Quite right Mr. Thompson (or should that be Mr. 1780??) and well done!
The recording is of Rachmaninov himself at the piano, with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Eugene Ormandy.

As it has remained unsolved for five days now, we can reveal that Puzzle 25 ( SendSpace and Rapidshare) is the Prelude in Act III of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera I Lombardi alla Prima Crociata.  |

Have I downloaded the wrong file? Puzzle 47 appears to be 'I'd like to teach the world to sing' by the New Seekers  Written by Roger Cook & Roger Greenaway as 'Mom, True Love and Apple Pie', reworked into a version called 'True Love and Apple Pie' , re-written again by Cook, Greenaway, Bill Back and Billy Davis as the Coca Cola jingle Note to our Esteemed Quiz Moderator Mr. Grew, I have been back to Puzzle 47 and it has changed - but it was The New Seekers before (causing me to get some strange looks here in the office) so please don't dock me any points. |

As Rachmaninov appears to be too easy for you lot, HERE and HERE is Puzzle 47! [ recte 48] The snatch begins rather like Chausson's Le Temps des lilas so we shall take a punt on that. The song has an independent existence but also appears as a section of his Poème de l'amour et de la mer. If not then it is either a quotation or a remarkable coincidence for which the loss of some points would be a small price compared to the joy of sharing its revelation. |

HERE and HERE is something ( puzzle 49) to please the modernist members! It comes from one of a handful of recent works which may be said to have entered the repertoire, in that it is already often played at symphony concerts. It deserves that status in our opinion - you will find no long-held and repeated solo oboe notes here!

Since your example is completely silent on my system, Mr Grew, I can only assume it is a section from Mr Cage's 4' 33"....

Mr Grew, we venture a guess that Puzzle 49 is the Scotsman MacMillan's Confessions of Isoble Gowdie. But we may, as in so many things in life, be completely wrong.

Sorry, Mr. Martle - it is not MacMillan or indeed any Scotsman at all! Speaking of which: Since your example is completely silent on my system, Mr Grew, I can only assume it is a section from Mr Cage's 4' 33"....
We shall download from the two links as a test and come back if they are not working for us. |
