Christmas quiz: how many did you guess correctly...?

Here are the answers to our Christmas quiz:

1. Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring.
2. Berlioz: Shepherds Farewell from L'enfance du Christ.
3. Bach: Christmas Oratorio.
4. Rimsky-Korsakov: Christmas Eve.
5. Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker.

The pieces were all Christmas-themed apart from The Rite of Spring.

Although lots of people guessed 3 or 4 of the pieces correctly, only 1 person managed to identify all 5. Congratulations to Oxford music undergraduate Tim Anderson! Your (edible) prize awaits you in the Bodleian Music Faculty Library. 

Wishing everybody a Happy New Year, and thanks for playing along!

Christmas Quiz

In December, instead of our usual 'Composer of the Month' display, we have created a musical quiz. So far, nobody has come up with five correct answers. Can you?

The following images are single pages from 5 different musical scores. Can you work out which pieces of music the pages are from? There is a link between 4 of them but there is one odd one out. Good luck!
