“Drop the Needle” Winners for 3.9-10.11
Despite the weird delay this Wednesday, the results are in! As always, thanks much to all of you who participated in this week’s “Drop the Needle” competition. Despite some very good effort, no one got piece and composer correct! This week’s piece was the Dirge from Part II of Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 2 “The Age of Anxiety.”
Here’s the whole thing for you to enjoy:
(If you don’t have a copy, you can pick one up at . The one I have’s even on sale! :-)
Thanks again to everyone who participated and gave it your best shot. If you have ideas for pieces you think would be particularly difficult for people to guess, please let me know.
Welcome to KillingClassicalMusic.com’s “Drop the Needle” Contest! - Updated to 60”
Something strange happened last night, and apparently the last clip for this week’s Drop the Needle contest disappeared. So here it is again. I’ll leave this up all day and share the correct answer tomorrow. Guess this gives some of you a second chance. :-)

Welcome to KillingClassicalMusic.com’s “Drop the Needle” Contest!
It’s too bad that all I’ve been able to get up here lately has been the contest. I’ve been swamped with lots going on, but I have no intention of missing the weekly Drop the Needle. So, here is the first installment of today’s drop the needle competition. It’s just 10 seconds long. If you don’t get it now, you’ll get a 30 second clip later, and later still you’ll get a 60 second clip.

“Drop the Needle” Winners - or not - for 3.3.11
The results are in! As always, thanks much to all of you who participated in this week’s “Drop the Needle” competition. This week is unprecendented. No one got everything correct! Looks like I finally found a week spot, as you all have been quite impressive in your ability to identify works from short clips. In any case, it looks like I’ll have to do more choral works. This week’s piece was Sir John Tavener’s Hymn to the Mother of God.
Here’s the whole thing for you to enjoy:
Since you all had so much trouble with this one, let me point you to recordings of Tavener’s music that you can pick up at .
Thanks again to everyone who participated and gave it your best shot. If you have ideas for pieces you think would be particularly difficult for people to guess, please let me know.
