Hi, I go to school at Seattle Pacific University. In my second year as a music minor, I'm taking a music history class, and so far it has been very interesting. However, our professor gave us a challenge for a small amount of extra credit. On the front page of the syllabus, he had printed a page from some unknown piece of music- and challenged us to figure out which piece it is from.
Aside from listening closely to the 130th measure of every piece with this orchestration ever written, I don't even know where to begin looking. Does anyone know where I can search though scores like this? (The library is an obvious choice that I have considered.)
Or, better yet, do you know what piece this is? It's not against the rules of my professor's challenge, and I'm sure if you were the first to post the correct title, you would win my eternal admiration and be remembered forever on this forum as a really smart, knowledgeable person.
Thanks!
P.S., By the way, it's not the extra credit that I'm interested in, but the fact that only two people have completed the challenge in the past...

Whoa! How about that, that's the one!... How silly of me, because right now I am working on this very piece as a clarinet duet. Irony!

Heh smartness. i wouldn't have ever guessed it since i haven't been exposed with much music.
