Christmas comes early! (Unless you loathe anagrams....)
Here's the test piece anagram quiz I promised for tomorrow, today! All 22 have been used at the National Championships of Great Britain since original pieces first made their appearance... except one! One of these original works has not been used at the National Championships. So once you've solved all the test pieces, you then have to get the odd one out!
A few pointers. Definite and indefinite articles like 'a' and 'the' that appear at the start of some pieces have been omitted for consistency. So for instance, if 'The Severn Suite' was one of the pieces (which it isn't) the anagram would be made from 'Severn Suite' Similarly, subtitles and 'descriptive extras' are not included like 'Symphonic Poem' However, titles such as 'for band' (i.e. 'Ballet for Band' would be included (but there again there might not be any pieces that qualify under that criterion anyway!)
There are one or two pieces amongst this little lot which aren't exactly well known nowadays, so any books or Internet articles detailing the list of test pieces used for the National Championships might well come in handy! (Did for this quiz....)
As stated before, none of these works (even the odd one out) are arrangements. All are original works for brass band
Good luck! Whoever gets it all right wins the 25% of my total earnings from the National Lottery...... (ahem!)
I have checked these out but apologies for any misprits, mistayks and any other errers that mite appeer. Thanx.
As the bored electrical engineer said 'I'm off ohm now' so I'll check in again tomorrow.
