Gcse music 2016 edexcel

does anyone have any predictions for tomorrows paper - i have a feeling it will be capercaillie for the essay but I'm really not sure - any ideas??

Our teacher says handel, capercaillie and yiri for the essay, possibly also mozart and chopin.

Good luck everyone!
I really want the essay to be Mozart, Handel or Steve Reich as I can write about them the best.

I threw together a spreadsheet of the previous years' essay questions. Here's the result:


As you can see, the only two that haven't been selected yet are Handle and Capercaillie, so I would expect those to turn up.

However Edexcel might realise this and throw in a different piece to throw us off, so make sure you still look over everything else!
