Hound Tor is a tor on Dartmoor, England and is a good example of a weathered granite outcrop. It is accessible, situated within a few minutes from the B3387 between Bovey Tracey and Widecombe-in-the-Moor; the site is administered by Dartmoor National Park Authority for English Heritage as it includes the ruins of a medieval village, alongside prehistoric works of stone construction nearby. Sabine Baring-Gould said that it derived its name from the shape assumed by the blocks on the summit that have been weathered into forms resembling the heads of dogs peering over the natural battlements. To the south-east of the tor, on a north-eastern-facing slope are the remains of Hundatora, a deserted medieval village; this was built on land farmed in the Bronze Age and which may have been used for grazing in the Roman period. The village was excavated between 1961 and 1975, it has four Dartmoor longhouses, many with a central drainage channel, several smaller houses and barns. These buildings date from the 13th century.

The three grain storage barns appear to have been adapted to include corn dryers, indicative of the deteriorating climate. Pollen evidence indicates that farming had stopped by 1350, but recent analysis of pottery suggests that the village was occupied until the late 14th or early 15th century; the settlement is first mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to Tavistock Abbey: Land for 4 ploughs. In Lordship 1 plough. Meadow, 9 acres. 1 cattle. Value 20 s; the villagers left little behind when they left, though the acidic soil would have destroyed much evidence. There are a number of older remains of human occupation nearby, including a prehistoric farmstead 400 metres north-west of the settlement, to the south are some Bronze age hut circles. Outlines of medieval fields can still be seen from vantage points on top of the tor; the fields are bounded by "corn ditches" - granite walls fronting a ditch, with earth piled up behind the wall. According to a local legend Hound Tor was created; the 1975 Doctor Who story The Sontaran Experiment was shot on location at Hound Tor.

It is thought to have inspired a number of artists and writers, such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in The Hound of the Baskervilles. The tor is popular with rock climbers English Heritage

This is a list of compositions by Anton Bruckner. Bruckner is best known for his symphonic works, he composed a few other smaller orchestral works, sketched another symphony. Bruckner composed a considerable amount of choral music. There are 59 religious works, of which there are 17 larger choral works, 40 smaller choral works, of which a few are in two or three versions, two aequali for three trombones. In addition, Bruckner made sketches for another requiem. Bruckner composed 44 Weltliche Chorwerke, seven secular cantatas, of which two are in three versions, about 20 Lieder for voice and piano. Bruckner's chamber music includes one theme & variations and six scherzos for string quartet, one string quartet with alternative rondo, one string quintet with additional intermezzo, one duo for violin and piano, about 50 small piano works. Other instrumental music includes a few organ works, of which some are of doubtful authorship, one military march for concert band; the WAB numbers, used in the table below, refer to the Werkverzeichnis Anton Bruckner.

This is a thematic catalogue of the music of Anton Bruckner compiled by Renate Grasberger. Lost works, etc. were added afterwards. Some other, still unclassified, works were identified as WAB deest; the WAB uses a single range of numbers divided into subranges for genre classification. Grasberger sorted the compositions alphabetically by title within each of the subranges. For a few of the pieces, she used an alternate title, less used today, or classified them in different subranges than the current Gesamtausgabe. New attributions and findings, as well as the re-evaluation of the incerta and falsa, require a in-depth revision of the WAB classification; this work is done in the framework of the research project Digitales Werkverzeichnis Anton Bruckner of the Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften. WAB deest works are classified as follows Renate Grasberger, Werkverzeichnis Anton Bruckner, Publikationen des Instituts für österreichische Musikdokumentation, Hans Schneider, Tutzing, 1977 - ISBN 3-7952-0232-9 Uwe Harten, Anton Bruckner.
