The New And Improved Weekly Quiz!
Hello everyone! It’s good to be back. Before the Quiz gets going again, it seems a good idea to tell you all about the new format and FANTASTIC PRIZES that are now available. The idea behind this format is that more people will have a chance to participate…more like a pub quiz type of thing.
Here’s how it’s going to go down.
The current quiz season will run for 10 weeks. Each Monday, a movement or bit of a movement of a piece will be presented. You are then invited to write in with the following information:
1) Name of Composer
2) Title of Work
3) Date of Composition
4) Movement/Aria (if applicable)
This is all well and good if you are an art music superfan but what if things get a little muddy when you have to choose between Mozart and Haydn or you know every piece of chamber music ever written but not too much about opera? Not to worry. The prize system has been revamped and is points-based to help even the field.
Participants will get 1 point each for the 4 required bit of information, that way, if you can only guess the composer you still score.
Because the clues that are given on Tuesday and Wednesday make it easier to guess, those that respond on Monday without aid of clues will earn 2 additional points; Tuesday responders will earn 1 extra and Wednesday responders will not gain any.
A leaderboard will be kept and updated each Thursday so you can see where you stand.
So…gather some friends and give yourself a really corny team name like The Expositions, The Furry Violas or Miss Mussel personal pub quiz favourite: Norfolk & Chance and play each week to win!
