[Prodromides]

Tbh, I think we can do better than 80.

I can think of at least 45 additional composer surnames that qualify just from my spreadsheet alone;
I'm confident Highwayman can do likewise. We might even be able to reach 144 ...

Wot? No William Alwyn harp concerto? I thought Art Rock would've deposited our beloved 'lyra angelica' on page 1.

 

[Art Rock]

It's on my list, but no rush. And if someone else would nominate another Alwyn composition, I'd be fine with that.

Welcome to the WORDLE composers game - inspired by the popular on-line five letter word word guessing game.
1. Only composers whose family name consists of five uninterrupted letters can be elected (so no du Fay or d'Indy).
2. The Wikipedia spelling is the guideline - otherwise, it will be my call.
3. You can nominate up to three composers per your calendar day, and include their work that you want to be in the game.
4. No composer can be nominated more than once - so one work and that's it (choose wisely - or tactically).
5. Composers with the same name (like Louis and Philip Glass) can all be nominated.
6. If I think the nominated work is not suitable (e.g. a movement of a symphony, or the complete organ works) you get the chance to change your choice for that composer.
7. Any questions, just ask.

Please use the lay-out below so I can quickly copy/paste into a spread sheet!

Bruch - String Quartet No. 2
Holst - Japanese Suite
Ravel - Shéhérazade (song cycle)

Haydn -Symphony No. 45 "Farewell"
Gluck - Ballet "Don Juan"
Kraus - Symphony in C-Sharp Minor, VB 140
