To play, all you have to do is listen to the small clips, and take a guess who the 20th century composer is for each one, and then reply in this thread with your answers/guesses. It's ok to list the names of the composers or at least their initials so that we know that you do in fact know the answers....rather than saying "i know this one"...if for some reason you don't want to list the name or initials of the composer just send me a PM with your answers. A good suggestion for this game is that everyone who wants to make a guess, doesn't read any of the others until they have listened to the examples and posted.
Clip 1 (46 sec.), Clip 2 (39 sec.), Clip 3 (38 sec.), Clip 4 (44 sec.)
Clip 5 (28 sec.), Clip 6 (57 sec.), Clip 7 (43 sec.) & Clip 8 (40 sec.)

Well, I had to look up #4, it's Birtwistle's Panic - I didn't know it created a stir though! Sounds like a fun piece.
#6 the only one besides Stockhausen I can remember is Gian-Carlo Menotti, though that doesn't really sound like something of his?
PS - Could you tell us the pieces the clips were from too?

1. Glass's David Bowie "Heroes" Symphony No. 4
Dang it, the one time when I know a piece in a 20th century game, I arrive a day late. ;D
