Re: 2018-19 Groger Ranks Awards

Having played with Steven Liu and Darren Petrosino for a good three years, I can confidently say that they should be strongly considered for science and literature, respectively. Steven was the lead scorer in all three of our nationals runs, including our 3rd place Open Division SSNCT team , our T-1...

A heavy brass motif in this work begins E-flat D E-flat C and is accompanied by the tolling of a bell. This work’s third movement contains a theme from the same composer’s unsuccessful Messe solennelle. That movement, which ends with four timpani imitating thunder, calls for a cor anglais and offst...

I thought Carracci as a hard part was a little too difficult (he was a medium part at 2013 ACF Nats and a hard part at 2014 PACE); the same went for Cimabue, who seemed pretty hard for this difficulty, although I'm not the greatest art player. Also, the tossup on Japan clued the same guy as the firs...

I believe Nibelung refers to a separate race? Unfortunately, I don't think Wagner's operas have any equivalent to Volsunga.

These objects name a [emphasize] compositional style exemplified by a slow F major piece in 6/4 time in which the right hand repeats rising second-inversion broken triads, usually “C F A,” while the left hand alternates longer notes of the tonic above and below that.

This is primarily to avoid having the set become oppressively difficult, but also is because I in pa...

Re: Gauging Interest in an NJ NASAT Team

So would the categories be read independently of each other? I'm not generalist, but it seems as though that method would be bad for generalists who score the most across categories.
