About this word search
The Sydney Opera House, designed by the Danish architect Jørn Utzon and opened in 1973, earns its place among the composers here. Beside it sit Vaughan Williams, Holst and Britten, three English names any choral singer will know well.
All eight directions are in use, backwards too. Sydney Opera House and Key signature are printed without spaces, and Vaughan Williams becomes one long run. Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov have unusual clusters of consonants that help them stand out.
For a listening group, play a Requiem by Mozart and one by Verdi, then ask which terms from the list could describe each.
