I was surprised that my answers of "cluster" and "stinger" were not accepted. Seems a bit too rigid. Great quiz, though!

1. "Leitmotiv" is an alternative spelling.

2. I think that the description of Dies Irae might be misleading. It was indeed first composed in the 13th century but it then became a sequence of the Requiem Mass, way before it was used in movies.
