Matts Music (2013): A quodlibet of songs that are commonly heard being played by students through the walls of Matts Music store in Tonawanda NY. The piece was commissioned for their 50th anniversary and includes quotes from early lesson book tunes, warm-up material, A polka (for Mr. Matt who is an avid accordion player and appeared on the Lawrence Welk Show), That Adele song you hear through the walls, and many more. This was specifically written for a student level ensemble.

Note For Adults: Although it was written with a student group in mind, this could also work as an easy-to-put-together audience pleaser. You may have fun asking the audience to name all of the tunes that they hear!
