    Gee, sorry about that, Andrew. I have no control over how people vote though.

    There are no losers in our game; the other composers will 'go back in the hat' for future polls. Assuming y'all keep the polls going by voting, they may come up again.

    Thanks a lot for your diligent participation though; hope you'll keep voting!

    Hi Mat,

    Well, I guess we sort of went through all the eras, and just didn't start it back up again after that.

    Is this something you would like to see brought back? The staff are rather busy at the moment, but we could envisage doing something like that again at a later date if peeps are interested.

    The staff have a lot to do now, indeed...

    The idea itself seemed quite nice to me. I miss the *Geographic composer abc game*, too. Maybe we can come up with something similar at a later date, as you said.

    Let's have all the current matters taken care of first.



    Cheers

    Thanks Mat.

    We all definitely should put on our thinking caps and come up with some more composer/classical music fun and games ideas. Got any?

    Aloha Ms. Rockin' Robin,

    I humbly propose a thread identifying a composer from any period who has written a piece that is recognizable as a hallmark of that composer. It could be any genre or type of instrumentation or setting for choir.

    Cheerio,

    CD
