Q1, The madrigals of William Byrd.


Q6,Borodin.

[Michael]

No. 5 suggests Walton's "Belshazzar's Feast".
No. 6 is sticking out a mile! (I think).

[Sorrano]

As I'm straight-jacketed by the Blue Baron's rules, I've sent him a PM for Q3. Let me try and derail you, as I want all the glory: think along the lines of Messiaen.

I've been thinking along the lines of Messiaen on No. 1, as well, but have not come up with anything.

And I'll wildly stab the Blue Baron. Sorry, I mean I'll take a stab at Q2:
Monteverdi Vespers?

[Sorrano]

I will take a wild stab at #4:

Handel in the Strand by Percy Granger

[Peter]

OK not quite the Xmas bonanza I had planned for you, but I've had a lot of issues to deal with recently as well as being extremely busy - Good luck!

RULES:

After attempting one question you have to wait 12 hours before attempting another one unless someone else has attempted that question first. The questions cover anything to do with classical music and are not Beethoven specific.

If anyone wishes to send a PM with their answers that's ok, but I won't acknowledge them as correct or otherwise until posted on the forum - however if they are correct and someone else posts it first on the forum, then I'll credit the person with the PM as well. Please limit PM answers to no more than one per day.
