BBC Radio 4 - Counterpoint, Series 29, The Final, 2015

Paul Gambaccini chairs the 2015 final of the wide-ranging music quiz.

Paul Gambaccini is in the questionmaster's chair for the 2015 final of the wide-ranging music quiz.

(13/13)
The three competitors who've beaten off all competition in this year's tournament of the music quiz now face the final hurdle - with one of them destined to be named the 2015 Counterpoint champion.

What do the English call the musical note known in French as a 'noire'? What was Elvis Presley's middle name? Which Scottish composer founded the Ayrshire music festival known as the Cumnock Tryst?

The calibre of contestants in a Counterpoint Final is so high it's hard to stump them - but the competition will be fierce and every point counts. As usual, they'll all have to pick a musical topic for the specialist round, and in the Final the categories can be especially unpredictable. 

The winner will take home the coveted Counterpoint trophy, and theirs will become the 29th name on the roll of honour since Counterpoint began in 1986.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
