Having sussed long ago that to remain ahead one needs to add puzzles (rather than solve those of others!), here is another teaser!

I'm quite happy here in the abyss, Mr Grew, thank you. I have been unable to download Mr Baz's last snippet so I shall guess that it's from the Musikalisch-Türckischer Eulen-Spiegel by Daniel Speer (1636-1707).

Regrettably Mr Barrett's speculation was some way distant from the truth (although the first 5 letters of his title offer a more-than-fair description in terms both of quality and of nationality).

Could it be the completely un-Handelian Scio enim quod redemptor meus vivit by Adam Gumpelzhaimer (1559-1625) of Trostberg?

How about the opening chorus from Bach's cantata BWV 207 Vereinigte Zwietracht der wechselnden Saiten ?

Well done autoharp - spot on!

Assuming reply 74 is wrong - dishy? - then how about Martinu Madrigals for Clarinet, Oboe and Bassoon?

And if 74 is right, this answer does not constitute another 75 points

If both are wrong, I'm in trouble.......

Neck on the block time, IGI - the telephonic association of your clue to 11 suggests either Menotti or Poulenc, and the near-quotation of the wedding march might just be from the latter's contribution to the the collaborative ballet Les Mariés de la Tour Eiffel.
