About this word search
Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto, home of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, is the only building on a list otherwise made of composers and terms. Holst wrote The Planets, and Britten borrowed a theme by Purcell for The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, joining two English composers nearly three centuries apart.
Expect words reading forwards, in reverse and on the diagonal. VAUGHANWILLIAMS and ROYTHOMSONHALL are long runs without spaces. Canon, Rondo and Verdi are only five letters and hide well among the longer names.
A listening group can pick one work by each composer it finds and spend a few evenings on the results.
