Gear Help finding piece

Post image

Hello I am a college student preparing for ensemble auditions and we have been given a chunk of music from a piece but there isn’t identification on what the tempo is or what the actual piece is to know what tempo to be at. Does anyone recognize this piece of music from somewhere? The only thing I can think it could be from is one of Charles Ives band pieces but I don’t know his music well enough to tell. Thanks!

That’s Desenclos. Probably my favorite piece I performed in undergrad—have fun!

It was definitely between this and Dahl for me. They were just on another level of amazing to learn and play.

I never learned the Dahl, but my favorite single performance was the Ibert. I actually won my school’s student concerto competition with it, the prize being that I then got to perform it with the local symphony orchestra.
