Okay, here's a recap...

Composed between 1937 and 1945. For a chamber group, containing parts for strings.

Composer, no longer alive, was originally from a country which was part of the western Roman Empire, but emigrated to the U.S. later. Nor Austrian, Bohemian, French, German, or Italian.

Btw, it may me take some time to reply while I'm messing around with my computer and accessing the internet from a slow LiveCD. Keep the questions coming...

18. Stravinksy?

Nope

19. Not a spanish compser

C'mon, where are all those questions that makes you pore over atlases and maps, and also eliminates vast regions?

22. Is the composer among Phil Goulding's Top 50 list?

Hmm... how many 20th century composers did that list contain anyway?

Not on that list.

Was the composer born after advent of mechanized flight?

Did Hadrian's Wall seperate the land of the composer's birth?

Does the composition contain vocals?

Did the composer die in the U.S?

If so, was it in one of the original 13 colonial states?

23. Was the composer born after advent of mechanized flight?

I don't think so. Could you be a bit more specific with the year?

24. Did Hadrian's Wall seperate the land of the composer's birth?

Getting warmer.

At last, you come to the UK, and it's getting warmer :!:

25. Does the composition contain vocals?

No

26. Did the composer die in the U.S?

Yes, and...

27. If so, was it in one of the original 13 colonial states?

...Yes

Born in England?

If not,

Born in Ireland?

by **navneeth** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 8:38 am

28. Born in England?

Yes

Two more questions to go. Composer born in England and died in one of the 13 colonies in the US, after 1966.

by **Shapley** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 8:51 am

I don't think so. Could you be a bit more specific with the year?

1903, the year of the first powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

by **navneeth** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 8:56 am

Born before 1903 and died after 1966.

Here's a hint: Birth was somewhere in the last twenty years of the 19th century.

female?
if so, Rebecca Clarke?

Bang! What a way to start the day!

30 questions are up. Now it should be an easy job to come up with the composition.

by **bignaf** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 9:37 am

I think there are 3 possible pieces. I'll dangerously guess: passacglia (on an old English Tune) for viola and piano.

by **Shapley** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 9:44 am

Then I will guess Prelude, Allegro and Pastorale (1941), viola and clarinet.
