PROBLEM: On the night before this battle, one side attempted to launch a sneak attack at Nairn whilst the other side was celebrating the birthday of its commander, while during the battle itself the losing commander's bodyguard supposedly shouted "Run, you Italian coward!". It followed an unsuccessful attempt to capture Stirling Castle on one side and the inability of General Hawley to secure a clearcut victory for the opposing side. The bayonet tactics of the victors were what made the difference in this battle which lasted less than an hour, perhaps thanks to George Murray no longer being in command of the Highland forces during it. The Duke of Cumberland had "See the Conquering Hero Comes" written in honor of his triumph in this battle. It followed Falkirk and was the final clash in the "Forty Five Rebellion". FTP, name this 1746 battle, the last fought on British soil, in which the Jacobites under Bonnie Prince Charlie were decisively defeated.

SOLUTION: History

PROBLEM: The allegretto vivace scherzo of one of this man's symphonies opens with a fugato in which first violins, then second violins, violas, and celli in turn enter with the leggiero theme. He used a nearly opposite order of entry in the fugato development of the adagio second movement of another symphony. This composer's aria "De mon amie" was based on that movement, and the symphony borrows heavily from Charles Gounod's Symphony in D. French horns imitate church bells in the "Carillon" movement of one suite by this composer of the Roma Symphony. The prelude to that suite and farandole from a later suite both quote the "March of the Kings," and both came from incidental music for an Alphonse Daudet play. For 10 points, name this French composer who wrote a Symphony in C at seventeen, as well as L'Arlesienne and the operas The Pearl Fishers and Carmen.

SOLUTION: Fine Arts

PROBLEM: One of this composers title characters sings the aria Quand le destin au milieu to convince the Countess of Berkenfield not to force her to marry the Duke of Crackenthorp. In another of his operas, Dr. Malatesta sings Bella siccome un angelo when describing a fictional sister to the title bachelor, while the self-proclaimed genius Dr. Dulcamara sells the title object of another opera to Nemorino to allow him to woo Adina. Another of his operas contains the sextet Chi mi frena, after which Edgardo curses the entire Lammermoor family. For 10 points, name this Italian composer of Daughter of the Regiment, Don Pasquale, LElisir dAmore, and Lucia di Lammermoor.
