Bandology by Eric Osterling
Click here to hear the original version of Bandology.  This version is one of the most played marches by school bands.  In 1995 the composer reworked the themes of this famous march to create the version that we are playing.  I can't seem to find a recording of this new version yet.

Korean Folk Rhapsody  by James Curnow
This piece is based on the Korean folk song "Arirang", arguably the most popular and best-known Korean folk song, both inside and outside Korea. Arirang is an ancient native Korean word with no direct modern meaning. 'Ari' means "beautiful" while 'Rang' can mean "dear". Because of those words, arirang could be interpreted to mean "beautiful dear".
Many variations of the song exist, and they can be grouped into classes based on the lyrics, when the refrain is sung, the nature of the refrain, the overall melody, and so on. Titles of different versions of the song are usually prefixed by their place of origin or some other kind of signifier. The original form of Arirang has been sung in Jeongseon County for more than 600 years. However, the most famous version of Arirang is that of Seoul. (thanks to Phill Hash for this info)
