| 8722 | 8040B73A-D791-4235-9BC2-0B6C5CD161A1 | 60410002 | Syrinx, L. 129 | SYRINX, L. 129/CD 137 by Claude Debussy (1862-1918) is among the most famous works for solo flute and is considered to be an indispensable part of the flutist's repertoire. The first solo flute work of any significance since C.P.E. Bach's SONATA in A minor, written over 150 years prior, SYRINX is also credited with reinvigorating the flute as a solo instrument, a trend that continues still. Written as part of the incidental music to Gabriel Mourey's play PSYCHÉ, the short work was originally entitled FLÛTE DE PAN, and it is thought that it was intended to be played off-stage by the dedicatee, famous French flutist Louis Fleury.

Despite having not yet visited Scotland, Bruch became familiar with Scottish folk melodies from a collection at the Munich library and incorporated several such melodies in the work: "Through the Wood Laddie," "The Dusty Miller," "I'm A' Doun for Lack O' Johnnie," and "Hey Tuttie Tatie" (or "Scots Wha Hae"). The orchestra includes a harp, which has prompted many to wonder if Bruch was aware of the central role the Celtic harp plays in authentic Scottish folk music, or if the inclusion was merely a coincidence.

Inspired by the sun rising and setting over the Aegean Sea, Nielsen titled this concerto overture "Helios" after the Greek word for "sun." Nielsen inscribed the following on the score: "Silence and darkness,/ the sun rises with a joyous song of praise,/It wanders its golden way/ and sings quietly into the sea." The work premiered in Copenhagen at Odd Fellows' Hall on October 8, 1903, Johan Svendsen conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Its first performance took place on January 26, 1790 at the Burgtheater in Vienna, Austria. Despite the strained credibility of the story, in which two men undertake a dare to deceive their lovers through feeble disguise and pretence in order to prove their faithfulness, Mozart enriched its characters with emotional depth, motivation, and humor. Though it took longer to achieve popularity than the other da Ponte operas, by the middle of the twentieth century, Cosi fan tutte had become a staple in opera houses all over the world.

Included are Joy to the World with optional antiphonal “Salvation Army” brass band, the Pastoral Symphony from Handel’s MESSIAH, Away in a Manger, concluding with a rousing medley of The March of the Three Kings and Fum, Fum, Fum! | Concert Band | |
| 8733 | 806c8a1a-9e3b-11f0-a418-0022482c9682 | RA307002 | Trois Nocturnes, L. 91 (Three Nocturnes; Original Version, 1899) | Claude Debussy (1862-1918) composed Nocturnes, L. 91 (also Trois Nocturnes) between 1897 and 1899, although some have speculated that work began as early as 1892 under the title Trois Scènes au Crépuscule (Three Scenes at Twilight), inspired by ten poems by Henri de Régnier, though no manuscript has ever been found. Also, flattered by famed violinist Eugène Ysaÿe's interest in his music, Debussy began in 1894 to rework his plans for his Twilight Scenes for solo violin and orchestra, now titled Nocturnes, and this time based after a series of paintings by American James McNeill Whistler. This first version of Nocturnes was abandoned when Ysaÿe would not commit to the performance. By 1897, having opted to remove the solo violin, Debussy began to write the piece as a work in three movements for full orchestra. Like Whistler's paintings, also entitled Nocturnes, this impressionistic orchestra work depicts studies in light and shade, landscapes and objects. Debussy even provided an introductory note to his Nocturnes, relating the influence of the paintings, and how he used their reliance on light, mystery, and impression to inform his music. The first two movements premiered at the Concerts Lamoureux in Paris on December 9, 1900, Camille Chevillard conducting. The female choir was unavailable for that performance, so the final movement was excluded. The first complete performance took place on October 27, 1901. Movements: 1. Nuages (Clouds); 2. Fêtes (Festivals); 3. Sirènes (Sirens). Instrumentation: 3(3rd dPicc).2+EH.2.3: 4.3.3.1: Timp.Perc(2): Hp(2): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Women's Chorus. Part of the Nieweg Performance Editions series.

| 8735 | 807280AD-3815-4F1E-A642-605AC4027108 | 52250908 | Raindrops On My Windowpane | This jazz ballad features lush harmonies, use of harmonics, and the oft-neglected viola section, which has the melody right after the introduction. Musical maturity will develop through tone production (vibrato a must!) and tight ensemble work. | String Orchestra | |
| 8736 | 80752458-9e3b-11f0-a418-0022482c9682 | RA820402 | Concerto for Cello in E minor, Op. 85 | Considered the last notable work of Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934), his Cello Concerto is a cornerstone of the solo violoncello repertoire. Composed in the aftermath of World War I, it premiered in October of 1919. The premier was reportedly quite the debacle, as Elgar (as director) and the performers of the London Symphony Orchestra had not been allotted proper rehearsal time from director Albert Coates, who overran his rehearsal time at Elgar’s expense. Composed in the summer of 1919, the first theme supposedly came to Elgar during a dangerous procedure to remove an infected tonsil. Upon waking from sedation, he asked for a pencil and paper and began sketching out the melody. The Cello Concerto did not achieve popularity until the 1960’s, where a recording by renowned cellist Jacqueline du Pré made it into a classical best-seller, driving a popularity that remains through today.

| 8737 | 807A7489-3474-4CE7-96C6-EFF554D64F68 | 50100315 | Journey to the Stars | This piece has everything the grade 1 conductor is looking for: safe and solid scoring, limited and comfortable ranges, enough percussion to keep the section busy and out of trouble, and exciting thematic material. Trumpet 1 goes to fourth line D, both clarinet parts stay below the break. The one trombone/euphonium part doubles the bass line at the octave for security. | Concert Band | |

| 8740 | 807df9f1-9e3b-11f0-a418-0022482c9682 | RA820802 | Planets, The (Op. 32/H125) | Written between 1914 and 1917, Gustav Holst was initially inspired to compose THE PLANETS based on a conversation he had about astrology while on holiday in Spain with some friends in 1913. Intrigued by the concepts, he sought to write an orchestral suite for seven of these astrological signs based on the planets known to the world at the time, and imbue the music with the appropriate astological meaning. Rather than order the planets as an astronomer would, Holst ordered them in such a way as to attain maximum musical effectiveness. Scored for a large orchestra, fellow composer Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote in 1920, "Holst uses a very large orchestra in THE PLANETS not to make his score look impressive, but because he needs the extra tone colour and knows how to use it." Aside from the large orchestra, the final movement, "Neptune, the Mystic," includes a chorus of female voices that sing a soft wordless line offstage who continue to sing and fade away after the orchestra has fallen silent. While "Mars, the Bringer of War" and "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity" are the most popular and well-known movements, Holst's personal favorite was "Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age." Certainly Holst's most popular work, this critical edition by Clinton Nieweg and Gregory Vaught, is based on the composer's manuscript.
