I have selected a work.....

Now it's up to you...................
To provide questions for clues...............

This may not be that rough....
But if you're lucky enough..........

You will be next!



Let the games begin!!!!

[Shapley]

As the Christmas season approaches
and the New Year rapidly encroaches
trying to employ both logic and reason,
Does the work relate to the Christmas season?

[Shapley]

A Navy Brig, the Hornet was lost,
in a storm off the coast of Mexico tossed,
Tell me please, before that year,
did the work in question appear?

[Trumpetmaster]

As the Christmas season approaches
and the New Year rapidly encroaches
trying to employ both logic and reason,
Does the work relate to the Christmas season?

Ask as he may....

Is it related to this Christmas Season...
This is very good reason....

But alas it is Nay....

[Shapley]

Do strings and horns her performers comprise?
Sending beautiful notes to fill the skies?
Perhaps to mark an occassion festal,
Is, perchance, this work Orchestral?

[Trumpetmaster]

Do strings and horns her performers comprise?
Sending beautiful notes to fill the skies?
Perhaps to celebrate a season festal,
Is, perchance, this work Orchestral?

Strings and horns do comprise....
you most certainly are correct.....
It is an Orchestral Work....

[Shapley]

Down from the mountains, the Rhine River flows,
Sustaining the land where the Rhine Grape grows.
The Composers' allegience to his homeland owing,
Past that land is the Rhine River flowing?

[Shapley]

Counter to the orchestra's part,
is there perhaps a lone upstart?
Does a soloist, devoid of stagefright,
earn a place in the stages spotlight?

[Trumpetmaster]

"Down from the mountains, the Rhine River flows,
Sustaining the land where the Rhine Grape grows.
The Composers' allegience to his homeland owing,
Past that land is the Rhine River flowing?"


Ah.....

the land of the grape.............

Past the composers land it sure goes
You are right on the nose...

[Trumpetmaster]

[Trumpetmaster]

Counter to the orchestra's part,
is there perhaps a lone upstart?
Does a soloist, devoid of stagefright,
earn a place in the stages spotlight?

Is there a lone upstart you ask......
This question looks like a grasp..........

A soloist on stage?
I think not for this page.......... (ugh.. on the rhyme sorry... )

[Shapley]

In Germany, where Ceaser fought,
Where Hops and Grown and Bier is bought,
In that land that two great wars have torn,
was the composer therein born?

I know my questions of history
are somewhat of a mystery,
but did you overlook or forget,
my question regarding the brig Hornet?

[Trumpetmaster]

A Navy Brig, the Hornet was lost,
in a storm off the coast of Mexico tossed,

Sorry I missed this one....
---------------------------------------------
My research tells me....
The Hornet was lost

before the work was first written...........


In 1818-1819 Hornet operated in the West Indies and the Mediterranean. She participated in the anti-piracy campaign in the Caribbean during the 1820s, capturing one pirate schooner off Santo Domingo in late October 1821. While off Tampico, Mexico, on 29 September 1829, USS Hornet was dismasted in a gale and sank with her entire complement.
