Fantasia on a Theme from Thailand—
Richard Meyer. This captivating work is a set
of variations on the Pong Lang Dance, one of
Thailand's most popular melodies. The pong
lang is a suspended vertical wooden xylophone
whose keys are arranged upside down, with the
low notes on the upper end and the high notes
at the bottom. The melody uses the pentatonic
scale and is very simple in nature. The variations
expand on fragments of the original tune in a
variety of tempi and styles that make each
new change thrilling! After this exploration,
the original melody returns, gradually gaining
speed and energy as one would hear in a
traditional performance of this dance.

Hatikvah (from "Munich")—John Williams.

divisi writing and there are parts for optional
flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and
harp. John Williams' treatment of the Israeli
national anthem gives a special reverence
