Clues to Luke's remaining ones

Clues to Guido's remaining ones

[lukeottevanger]

And I'll offer up the fact that my 354 is very well known, and deservedly so - not to the extent of The Planets or Carmina Burana, but certainly one of the most famous works of the 20th century. As I said, the vocal parts (choral) are missing. (So is much of the orchestra, of course)

[lukeottevanger]

....OK, it is not the only piece of its type, but it is by far the most famous.

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

It has been looking tantalizingly familiar for days, Luke. It's on the tip of my... well, not tongue.

[lukeottevanger]

One of the other examples was composed by a certain Jake Rolands, apparently. Or something like that.....

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

It's Janacek! Glagolitic Mass!

[lukeottevanger]

Of course!

(Jake Rolands being one of the many pseudonyms of the Czech polymath Václav Jaroslav Karel Pinkava - novelist, poet, scientist, psychologist, illustrator and composer, the latter under the name Ferdinand Lučovický z Lučovic a na Suchým dole. At his own website, one can download a score of his Glagolitic Mass)

[lukeottevanger]

Now, would it help if I said that, not only are all but two of my remaining ones by composers featured previously on this thread, but three of them are by composers featured in my last couple of sets?

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Now, would it help if I said that, not only are all but two of my remaining ones by composers featured previously on this thread, but three of them are by composers featured in my last couple of sets?

Of course that would help. But I think I'll check what this teasing lifting of the veil has revealed tomorrow... 

[lukeottevanger]

Of course that would help.

OK, then. Consider it said.

[(poco) Sforzando]

Of course!

(Jake Rolands being one of the many pseudonyms of the Czech polymath Václav Jaroslav Karel Pinkava - novelist, poet, scientist, psychologist, illustrator and composer, the latter under the name Ferdinand Lučovický z Lučovic a na Suchým dole. At his own website, one can download a score of his Glagolitic Mass)

Ah well. That's embarrassing. It's not as if I have never heard the work or seen the score. But some pieces I know better than others. Sigh.

[lukeottevanger]

It's obvious once one knows the answer - those caressing clarinets and soaring cellos - but I did choose a page which, being a transition, is in a state of flux: the very Janacekian motives are less clearly defined here than elsewhere, and that makes it trickier.

[lukeottevanger]

The remaining ones of minw. Latest clues are in....let's see, what colour shall we have this time......GREEN
322 - Composer of a recently identified score. (So that makes this one of them, then!) Might help to look at the piece in a little detail. You did notice the quotation, then? You'd better get this one quickly or I promise you'll be able to hear my complaints even if you're many miles away.This well-known composer didn't have a huge output and is best known for one work, already on this thread. He was the teacher of someone who himself became one of the most famous of musical teachers
332 - Relatively recently deceased composer of 'Requiem for a dead poet' - shares a middle name with the main male protagonist of 341. Very much one of Alban's men... Or Ingmar's, I suppose... Comes from the land of Poju Johan got the composer - Erik Bergman - but maybe it got lost in the melee. I think the piece, for soprano and cello, ought to be findable with this knowledge, so I'll leave it for a while just to see if this prompt helps.
342 - Should be clear who. No, not him, the other one....  Kodaly, Johan has ascertained. I'm on the verge of just giving you this one, as it is only what it seems to be. Have a guess before I reveal it. That isn't a clue, by the way. OK, I'll reveal that one in a minute. Damn, I never did. As I said, it's just what it seems to be - it's from his set of arrangements simply entitled 'Hungairan Folk Music'. So now you don't have to bother with this one.
344 - one of the pieces I loved most as a teenager - extraordinary texturally and timbral invention, and superlative orchestration, so that it sounds as fantastic as it looks, not just the grey sludge it could have become. Deliberately scored for a Haydnesque orchestra. The composer - whose name is also that of an important political figure of the last century from the country of 325 - is self-taught, but when younger played the national instrument of his country and in a rock band (called Influx, apparently). His music is both ultra-complex and instantly accessible. Look at the clue for 325 to help you with the relevant part of this clue. Therefore, given my new update to the clue for 325, it is clear that the famous politician with whom this composer shares his name is Irish. This composer isn't Irish, though - but he does come from another Celtic country, very nearby. The noo. OK, I don't think new clues are required, just a clarification of the previous one. He's Scotish, a contemporary, 'complexity' composer (though he might not like the classification). There's really only one of those. This is probably my favourite piece by him, and I've mentioned it many times in the past, though not so much recently. It has a two-part name which suggests the structure of the piece.
34 - palindromic. Who does that sort of thing....? I has a piece by him a ling time ago, which was also partly palindromic; my sample showed the middle point of the palindrome. That score was guessed by someone from the same country as this composer. And he won't let us forget it.... though he doesn't hang around this thread as much as he should anymore  As I told Greg, when I was a boy, I lived not far from this composer, but he wasn't a native of my country Where is Maciek, anyway? Similarly, clarification rather than much new stuff: a Polish composer who lived in London. A proper, well-known composer too, not one of those unknown bunch of consonants Maciek usually throws at us  OK, a bit of new information: this is a piano work concerned in all manner of ways with the number five
348 - composer appeared in this very same set of pieces. More than once
357 - Only slightly less famous than the original work in this genre, composed by a great Hungarian composer. Another one that The Pole would know inside out, were he to grace us with his presence. So, likewise, a famous Pole - as much as and probably more than the last one. An early pioneer of aleatory techniques, but not in a Cageian way. There, it ought to be easy now.

Can we get these before I go all round the rainbow please?  0:) 0:)

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

# 324 Šárka...

[lukeottevanger]

Well, now you're on the trail yes - though, as the clue says, this isn't from that opera, only linked with it. Who wrote this Sarka, anyway? There is a choice....

[lukeottevanger]

Whilst we're here, I have a new one for you - just one, and it's only wafer-thin, to coin a phrase. One of the most interesting set of rests in music, IMO. Obviously this is extracted from the score - there's other stuff going on here.

LO 361

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

I'll have a think, Luke, whilst my little girl is hogging the computer the coming hour... (German opera, so much is clear, or is it...)

[lukeottevanger]

How did you get Sarka? What makes you think this is German? 

[lukeottevanger]

Oh, stupid me - you must be referring to 361. No comment.

(The Sarka-linked one, of course, is Czech)

[lukeottevanger]

Stuff it - I will comment! I can see why you'd think this is opera - the phrase 'in sanfter Ekstase' looks like the sort of thing one might write as an 'expression' direction to a singer, in the gap before, after, or during an aria. And it is that sort of thing - but this isn't vocal music.
