Which is your favorite? Why?
For each concert, I try to choose pieces that compliment each other, but are, in no way, alike. It always fascinates me to find out which songs speak to which students. So far, we have a blues piece in which we're working on articulation, swinging eighth notes, walking bass lines, improvisation, and blues scales. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have a contemporary piece in an AB form that is spurring us to discuss contrasting styles, accurately counting rests, layering, balance, and blend.
Which is your favorite? Why?

I like both of the songs (obviously....I chose them!), but if I had to choose one, I'd go with "Blues Down Under." I like the blues style of the piece and how we're learning to improvise through it.

I like Incantation and Ritual. The reason that I like Incantation and Ritual is because it is slow at the beginning and then picks up the pace.

I like Blues down under more because it is slightly easier, but if I had to choose which one sounds better, I would say I like Incantation and Ritual.

I like Incantation and Ritual because my part goes lower than you would expect of the flute. It also goes slow but not to slow for me to kep up.

I like Blues Down Under better than Incubation and Ritual because we have practiced it more, and I have a good grip of the swingy style. Also, the variation of the notes is more appealing for me.

I like the music sheet Blues Down Under since I really like the rhythm and melody of the song. I know I also like it because my parents went to college in New Orleans and I have grown up with a lot of blues pumping out of our speakers. -Beatrix

I prefer Incantation and Ritual because of the constant changes in tempo and volume. Also, I think it is a great song because almost every part is different, so you get to learn new parts throughout the song rather than repeating the same part several times which occurs more frequently in Blues Down Under. Another reason why I like Incantation and Ritual is because the music is simpler to understand than all the solos and repeats and sharps that is throughout Blues Down Under.

I liked the slow and steady beat of the piece incantation and ritual because when the calm beat is broken you know that the song will be beautiful and calm. Also I like this song because of the feel of a story and an adventure. Then when the song ends you see that the beginning melodious is back and you can know that the song is over and you want to hear it again .
