Round 8: Tossup 4

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 “Memento mori” and “Hunter.” Suzuki’s violin method begins with four variations on a theme (10[1])titled in English for one of these objects that is quoted by the piano in the “Fossils” movement of Saint-Saëns’s (“san-SAWNS’s”) The Carnival of the Animals. These are the [emphasize] first title objects of a piece that features a famous piccolo solo in its trio section representing the American South. For 10 points, the title of a John Philip Sousa march pairs what objects with stripes? (10[1])■END■
