Round 3 The Wall

The Wall contains sixteen words or phrases arranged in a 4×4 grid. These items can be grouped in four musically-connected sets of four – you need to find the groups and define what connects the items in each group. If I have created this wall correctly, there is only one solution that works, but if you find another way of solving the wall, kudos to you!

Harlem	Grand Canyon	Isfahan	Air
London	Tribe	Dolly	Rigadoon
Hess	Sacred Concert	Liver!	Jazz
The Mooche	Gnawer	Arnum	Come Sunday

SOLUTION

Group 1 is Gnawer, Harlem, Tribe, and Rigadoon – these are anagrams of composers (Wagner, Mahler, Ibert (or Berti) and Giordano). Group 2 is Sacred Concert, The Mooche, Isfahan, and Come Sunday – these are all works by Duke Ellington. Group 3 is Liver!, Arnum, Air, and Hess – these are all musicals with their first letter missing (Oliver!, Barnum, Hair and Chess). Group 4 is Dolly, Jazz, Grand Canyon, and London – these are all Suites (by Fauré, Shostakovich, Grofé and Coates respectively). Sorry if anyone thought Dolly (Lloyd) was a composer anagram, or that Harlem was a work by Duke Ellington, or that Rigadoon (Brigadoon) was a musical with its first letter missing!
