That's it!

I should've gotten that, at least the composer.

Is 40 Milton Babbitt?

29 is the Berlioz Te Deum - should have got that one quicker!

...which I don't know well, but the scoring is right....plus, you said one part is missing, but there's no room for another instrumental or (sung) vocal part in the score, so I'm guessing at a narrator. Hence....my guess!

Yes, the opening Fanfare.

36 is fascinating, all round...scarcely a clue what it is yet, though!

Though not absolutely unique, a couple of deviations from tradition are characteristic of the composer. Placing the trumpets above the horns, e.g.

Guido

As ever staggered by all these correct guesses.

Complete stab in the dark, I'm sure it is wrong, just trying to narrow tings down - early Dallapiccola (e.g. the Partita...)???

Still, there are interesting avenues to explore...

but now I need to get some sleep! I had fun with those scores tonight, thank you Karl!

Hmm, it's a hard one to track down for sensible money, that one. I only need Don, I have some of the rest - but it's Don that is the one which is so deep in my musical psyche...

Sheetmusicplus.com lists Don for under $40 USD.

No.

Oh, it's a reduction. Didn't see that at first.

43 looks like the ending of a clarinet concerto.

48 is the Copland Piano Variations.

Yes on both.  Not sure what hint I could give on the concerto which would not give the game away.

It's not the Copland. But there are not a lot of clarinet concertos. I'm guessing it could be the Corigliano but am not sure of that.
