The solution to Puzzle 103 is that it is the Requiem
In memoriam Maija Kokkonen, by Joonas Kokkonen.
Correct Bryn - the opening of Movt 2 ('Kyrie'). Baz I confess I do not know the work at all, and neither did I recognise the composer in the photograph. However, editing the URL for the source of the photograph did the trick.  I accept the points with dishonour. |

Here is PUZZLE 119, which was originally composed 44 years earlier as a String Quartet (but subsequently arranged by the composer into this form). Baz |

Or more likely to be Hugo Wolf's Italian Serenade! ? |

Here is Puzzle 120. As mentioned on the discussion thread it comprises two versions of the same br ief section from the work concerned, played by two different ensembles. there is a 'silent' gap of 4 seconds between the clips. [Fear not. The modification simply corrected a "brief" typo. |

Puzzle 122 is We'll Gather Lilacs In The Spring, by Ivor Novello, a pop song, so it should not be here.
[It is from the 'Show', "Perchance To Dream", and the full title is given above.]

121 = Brahms' Hungarian Dance No.5 Quite right! Mr. Inquisitor is still on form we are glad to see having solved it in only 2 minutes. . . . which gives us the chance to pose puzzle 123 (reserving the number) which we hope will not be quite so easy. It is not entirely clear at least to us whether Brahms himself ever orchestrated this one. Dvorak orchestrated some of Brahms's Hungarian Dances did he not, and other people did some as well. According to Grove Brahms orchestrated only numbers 1, 3, and 10. (They were originally written for four hands at one piano of course.) |

122 We'll Gather Lilacs, by Ivor Novello. Correct, Mr. Watson! We did not think there were such things as "pop songs" at the time when this was popular. |

I believe there are a number of orchestrations for No.5: on my VPO/ Abbado disc, the orchestrator is given as Martin Schmeling; on the BFO/Fischer disc (which is delightfully done), the conductor himself arranged it. The last four dances are the ones Dvorak orchestrated. Nos. 1, 3 & 10 seem to be the Dances Brahms himself orchestrated. |

123 sounds very Stravinskian...could it be his Octet for Winds?
