Level 5
Title: Unknown
Composer: Unknown

Key: F/Bb
Tempo: Allegro
Time Signature: 4/4 and 3/4
Notes: A few accidentals throughout (do not know which specific ones). Lots of 8th-16th-16th. Very playable. More info from The Yellow Board….tarts off with 4 measure percussion intro. Snare mostly.
Key of F but with Ab and Eb accidentals throughout.
A LOT of dynamic markings. A lot of crescendos and de crescendos. If does change to Bb but again there are many accidentals. Only one entrance occurs on an up beat. Measure 6 in low brass. A lot of entrances on count 2. Hardest rhythms are the eighth note - 2 sixteenth and the 2 sixteenth- eighth note. The middle sections has some question and answer between low and high voices. Last 4 measures or so is a timpani solo with chords on count one.
Accidentals are the biggest issues.
Level 6
Title: Entrance into Elysium (?
Composer: Cliff Jones
Percussion: Unknown
Key: F/Bb/F
Tempo: Moderato marcialle throughout
Time Signature: 4/4, 3/4, 4/4
Notes: FULL of naturals, especially B natural in melody voices (flute, clarinet and trumpet) Dotted 8th-16th notes prevalent. “Noodly” ww runs in last third of piece. Independent trombone and baritone parts. Rhythms are ok otherwise. Trumpets have the melody in the beginning and closing section. The beginning and ending are in F Lydian. Technie is in the flute section mostly and sometimes doubles the alto sax. The 3/4 section does not have a clear melody. in 3/4 section, Alto saxes have 8th notes while clarinets have a "quasi-melody". Very strange piece, must be played confidently!!!
