Were You ThereFred J. Allen Were You There is an example of African- American spiritual songs from the 19th century. The melody possesses a wide range of an octave and a fourth, and is pentatonic except for one note in the final phrase. The text of the song, through several verses, asks the listener to witness the events surrounding the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This setting was commissioned, and by way of dedication, a family surname is captured rhythmically throughout the piece, often resulting in syncopation. The piece isUIL Grade 4 contemplative in nature, reflecting the questioning text. Stylistically, a broad legato style is appropriate. 12105500 60.00 Set Score 12105501 10.00

Dance of the Seven Veils from SalomeRichard Strauss/arr. Kazuhiro Morita Oscar Wilde, author of Salome, described the scene simply as "Salome dances seven veils dance." Though the goal is seduction of her stepfather King Herod, Salomes actions arent overtly erotic, at least initially. A manic introduction in the score is halted by the dancer, who begins again with a languid, deliberate act of attrition, as the orchestra presents heavily ornamented long tones, interspersed with waltzes and teasing melismas. Salomes tempo gradually increases as she sheds her veils in a final frenzy, then collapsesUIL Grade 5 as though in exhaustion. After a moments pause, she rises again to throw herself at Herods feet in triumph. Set 24169800 115.00 Score 24169801 15.00

Danzon #2Arturo Marquez/arr. Oliver Nickel In its original orchestral form, Danzon #2 has enjoyed significant popularity on performance programs everywhere. The danzon, itself was Cuban-born, from a natural synthesis of Spanish, British, and French dance forms. The piece is built on a beautiful, elegant main theme, stated at the outset on clarinet. It preserves both the traditional rondo form and the tendency to begin in a state of restraint and erupt into passionate rhythms later. Parts Only 22154800 169.95UIL Grade 5 Score 22154801 29.95

Instinctive TravelsMichael Markowski Markowskis breakthrough composition, Shadow Rituals (19203100), was the unanimous winner of the first Frank Ticheli Composition Contest in 2006.

Richilde OvertureGabriel Pares/arr. Tomohiro Tatebe Richilde Overture is a favorite of Pares many works. In standard overture style, it is dramatic and strongly romantic. The superbly orchestrated beginning horn statement and successive themes draw toward a profound conclusion. The original instrumentation favored frequent use of the saxophone family, indicative of the Orchestre de la Garde Republicaine, whereby full instrumentation sought an orchestral sound and effect.
