and Variations on Happy Birthday for orchestra
Hrm. If you're going to count the brass works, one might as well count the string orchestra works like the Variations and Fugue on a Bach Saraband from 1991, too...

I wonder if there are sufficient of these to justify a separate "Catalogues" thread?
Eric Gilder's book A Dictionary of Composers and Their Music does a similar thing, but is less detailed, less accurate and doesn't include the more obscure or recent-lived/living composers, so these are all really useful.
Thanks for all your effort, Colin! :) :)

But I am not including the brass works ;D The only exception to this was "Media morte in vita sumus" because of the inclusion of chorus.
I hoped that I had made clear that I simply do not have the time, energy, dedication or interest to make these catalogues comprehensive lists of ALL the composers' works.

When I am finished doing these catalogues then I would hope to consider some way of grouping them together certainly :)
