Question

These objects title nine sets of seven dances for solo piano by Takashi Yoshimatsu inspired by the colors of the rainbow. Sibelius salvaged a theme from Kuutar titled for these objects for the opening Adagio of his seventh symphony. A group of these objects titles an orchestral work by Kaija Saariaho (“KYE-yah SAH-ree-ah-ho”) with movements including (10[1])“Memento mori” (10[1])and “Hunter.” Suzuki’s violin (-5[1])method begins with four variations on a theme (10[1])titled in English for one of these objects that is quoted (10[2])by the piano (10[1])in the “Fossils” movement of Saint-Saëns’s (10[1]-5[2])(“san-SAWNS’s”) The Carnival of the Animals. (10[1])These are the [emphasize] first title objects of a (10[1]-5[1])piece that features a famous (10[1])piccolo solo in its trio (10[1])section representing the American (10[2])South. For 10 points, the (10[2]0[3])title of a John Philip Sousa (10[1])march (10[1])pairs what (10[2])objects with (10[3])stripes? (10[11])■END■

ANSWER: stars [accept constellations; accept “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”; prompt on Pleiades or Orion by asking “what objects are those examples of?”] (The piece in the first sentence is Pleiades Dances. The piece in the second sentence is Orion.)
