This one may be difficult. The other day, while driving my son to school,
we heard a pair of pieces which belonged together and of which he liked
the first very much. The first was played on a stringed instrument,
I think a mandolin (though it should be noted I have trouble telling one
istrument from another), with some accompaniment; the second seemed
quite different, what I term (to myself) "typical Renaissance stuff"
(though for all I know it was Medieval or Baroque). Anyway, after the
music was over the announcer announced, while my ears were still in
"listen to music" mode rather than "listen to verbiage" mode, that the
composer was something moderately like "Giorgio Manerio" and the
selection(s) was titled "5 dances." The group doing the playing had
"London" and "Consort" somewhere in their name, if that helps. I went
to the Duke music record library, and couldn't come up with any name
strongly reminiscent of Manerio (checked Man*, Men*, Min*, Mon*, Mun*)
with a first name reminscent of Giorgio. Can anyone help?

As long as we're into difficult queries: This one's somewhat embarrassing,
but what the heck. While watching a portion (I swear, just a portion,
and only because my wife turned it on) of the Miss America pageant,
namely, the talent competition, I heard an interesting piece performed
by Miss NY. She, a (graduate?) student at, I think, Juilliard, played
a piano piece which I would term modern; which was very fast; which was
(I think) by an Argentinian composer; and which had a title involving
"Dance(s)" and "Trocadero(s)" -- I think. It's been a while, and the MAP
doesn't emphasize such details much. Can anyone crack this one?
