(9/13)
Competitors from the North of England join Paul Gambaccini for the ninth and last heat in the 2015 tournament of the wide-ranging music quiz.

In which 20th century choral work would you hear the 'Song of the Wood-Dove'? And which jazz violinist claimed to have been born on board a ship carrying his Italian emigrant parents to the United States?

Today's trio of competitors will have to answer questions such as these in their attempt to win a semi-final place. They'll also have to choose a musical topic in which to specialise, from a list of five of which they've had no prior warning. Every musical genre and era is fair game, all the way from medieval music to opera, jazz, film and TV music and contemporary rock and pop.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.

Paul Gambaccini hosts the general knowledge music quiz.
