Earl Purple 2. Modern orchestral music. This should include a string-section and be composed after 1900. Note: there are some composers whose works crossed over 1900 and it would be acceptable for them to appear in both these rounds with earlier and then later works, should they be entered. Could this go right up to say 2010 like a film composer and not necessarily a classical one

2010 is later than 1900 so yes it can.

I would like to open this up now to signing up: I could simply open it up at some point for entries, but it's good to get an indication of how many will be participating.
There will be a specific date to send the entries which is likely to be around 2nd May, with the contest starting as Lingovision voting closes (with possibly a slight overlap)

I hope enough people will find the tunes to enter, or there won't be much to vote on. I know instrumentals in general don't excite so many people on Haven.
In general I'm not that excited by foreign-language music and ok it's only one song a year but I try to find something each year to participate in Lingovision anyway.
I don't know if some contestants would find some rounds easy but others too hard.

I should be able to enter. I haven't finalised all my entries yet but should be relatively easy.

I'll play if I can find music that that can fit into all the specific categories. That might be a headache for me and I may get a few rejected along the way. Apart from the 2 tracks mentioned above, is there nothing that is excluded because it has been in a previous contest ? Nothing else is excluded. I will add you to the list. I wonder if piano music is the one more people will struggle on than the others. There were loads of big guitar and synth-based hits. And quite a lot of modern orchestral music (often as film themes) as well as brass/woodwind.

I don't know if some contestants would find some rounds easy but others too hard. One song in a very open category is pretty different from this. I tried , I have about six songs but if they end up dupes I’d be screwed so I’m sitting it out. And anyway haven’t sat a comp out for while so it’s only fair. Also piano is the first one I did and the only one I knew for sure when this game was announced which was great until I realised that covers would be allowed.

Actually it's the guitar one for me, which may sound surprising given my taste in music, but broadly the guitar instrumentals which were hits aren't my cup of tea (or are so obvious someone else will have chosen them), and I don't want to choose any songs I don't myself like. The post-1900 rule also ruled out some other tracks I do like but which are modern guitar arrangements of classical pieces. I do have options for that category but it was one of the hardest for me.

You get to choose your priority for each round. So you can put your 1 priority on the round where you don't have a suitable sub, so you're more likely to get it. It won't guarantee you do get it, but makes it more likely.

I want priority on all my 8 choices as i found it hard to find stuff.
Though i doubt anybody will duplicate my choices if im honest
I had a couple of hours scanning things.
The catorgories may look hard to find but i think once you get into search mode they seem to blend in as certain choices make you think of something else.
Case of not looking to far outside the box
Round 2 was my hardest to find however all i kept thinking of for all rounds was classical music as it seemeed to fit but i did indeed find some that never in a million years would have thought about
Ill give it a go. Shame TV themes aint there.

TV themes (if they're instrumental) can be entered under whatever type of music they are.
