| Classical composers Béla Bartók = Broke tabla = Bloke at bar A tabla is a small hand drum of India. Ludwig Van Beethoven = Began with unevolved = Devil won't bug heaven Hector Berlioz = Cozier brothel Anton Bruckner = Rock an R 'n B tune Frédéric Chopin = Periodic French = Prince hid force Born in Poland, he moved to France in 1831. Claude Debussy = Ably seduced us Gabriel Fauré = Beguiler afar Edvard Grieg = Drive dagger Joseph Haydn = He's a phony DJ Charles Ives = Evil crashes Elvis search Franz Liszt = Snazz flirt Not a bad find for a name that looks unlikely to produce an anagram. 'Snazz' can be a slang shortening of snazzy and will not be found in most dictionaries. Claudio Monteverdi I loved court maiden I'd outlived Cremona Tour amid old Venice Need viol amid court Monteverdi's name is miraculous in producing uncanny anagrams. Each one merits a description: 1) He fell in love with a court singer named Claudia Cattaneo and married her in 1599. 2) He was born in Cremona but eventually moved. 3) In 1613, he moved to Venice to continue his career. 4) He had been employed as a court violist in Mantua. Modest Mussorgsky = Muse God's sky storm Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina = Violin, purge a despairing Italian He may have despaired in the 1570's during which he lost his wife, two sons and a brother to three separate outbreaks of the plague. Sergei Prokofiev = I spoke of griever Sergei Rachmaninoff = Harmonic fife’s range Gioacchino Rossini = Ciao! Choir is in song = I sing coos in a choir Richard Strauss = Crush a Strad, sir? A Strad, short for Stradivarius can be worth millions. There are Stradivarius cellos and violas also. Igor Stravinsky = Striking savior Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky = The picky choir’s vital key. Guiseppe Verdi = Give pipers due Antonio Vivaldi = Valid in ovation = Violin avoidant Violin avoidant is classified as an atonymous anagram or an antigram. |

| Movie composers Alexandre Desplat = Extend all parades Golden Compass, Harry Potter 7 and The King's Speech are among his credits. Patrick Doyle = Darkly poetic = It played rock Danny Elfman = Flamed nanny Jerry Goldsmith = Joys led Mr. Right Jerry's list of music credits is vast and includes the Star Trek: The Next Generation theme. Harry Gregson-Williams = Rashly growling armies The first two Narnia movies are among his credits. Nicholas Hooper Hear Chopin solo Help a choir soon Oh, nice harp solo Three excellent musical anagrams for Nicolas. He scored the fifth and sixth Harry Potter films. James Horner = Jar men's hero = Raj horsemen He scored the two biggest box office successes of all time, Titanic and Avatar. Field of Dreams, Braveheart and Apollo 13 are among his others. Henry Mancini = Nicer in a hymn Rachel Portman = Oral parchment = A central morph Rachel, the lone female in this list, won the Best Musical or Comedy score Oscar in 1996 for Emma. Howard Shore - Dr. Who's a hero = He had sorrow Vangelis = Leavings Perhaps the score to Chariots of Fire is the most recognized work of Vangelis. John Williams = I’m on Jaws hill The prolific John Williams is perhaps the best known of movie composers. His anagram isn't very sensible but he did compose the score for Jaws. |
