Quiz: Mystery scores

[Maciek]

No.

Clue no. 2: the piece is from 1983.

[greg]

Processional! 

[Maciek]

Bravo!

Only 3 left to go... Let me taunt you a bit, Luke-style:

I really didn't think no. 18 would be this much trouble. The composer is Polish (in case anyone hasn't guessed that yet) and a really major figure.

No taunting involved - I am just honestly amazed that no one has identified at least three of mine within seconds, as they come from three massively famous works (nos 89, 111 and 113). All of my remaining composers are extremely well-known names - even better known than Maciek's Lithuanians, if that is possible 

The fact that they haven't been guessed yet has led me to think that people have lost interest in the thread, that's all.

[Maciek]

But we both know that it isn't.

[lukeottevanger]

BTW, your no 18 is Baird's Voices From Afar, isn't it?

[lukeottevanger]

But we both know that it isn't.

Isn't possible to be better-known than Vidmantas Bartulis, you mean? We'll see......!

[Maciek]

BTW, your no 18 is Baird's Voices From Afar, isn't it?

Yes, it is! My favorite Baird piece! The text is fantastically merged with the music.

Isn't possible to be better-known than Vidmantas Bartulis, you mean? We'll see......!

No, we won't. It's impossible, full stop!

[lukeottevanger]

MM 15 - Loreta Narvilaitė: Butterfly. How stupid of me not to get it before......

[Maciek]

He he. Well, perhaps she does outdo Bartulis a bit... 0:)

[lukeottevanger]

They get even better known - MM13: Onutė Narbutaitė - Autumn Ritornello. Hommage à Fryderyk

[lukeottevanger]

That's all of yours now, I think.

[Mark G. Simon]

Luke's no. 111 is Variations on Three Blind Mice by Havergal Brian

[lukeottevanger]

Close enough - Fantastic Variations on an Old Rhyme, but HB is correct. A pre-Gothic piece.

[Mark G. Simon]

There were a couple of Brian sites I visited that referred to "Three Blind Mice Variations", so I figured that was good enough.

Is 89 perhaps from Bluebeard's Castle?

Thank goodness!! At last - you see what I meant when I said it was a major work? And this is one of its finest moments - the unutterably haunting music for the lake of tears.

[Mark G. Simon]

Duh, and 113 has to be Britten's War Requiem. The Dies Irae, right?

[lukeottevanger]

As you so rightly say, Duh. Another one I expected to go quickly!

[Larry Rinkel]

As you so rightly say, Duh. Another one I expected to go quickly!

Finally, one I could have gotten, and someone else slips in!
