BBC Music Magazine August 2008

This is simply a puzzle plucked from one of my files: puzzle 194 in the ongoing series.  My thanks to BBC Music Magazine for permission to republish it.  Please check out the magazine here.  (Their choice of Elder’s version of The Apostles as Recording of the Year has persuaded me to give the later Elgar oratorios another go.)
