Cajuns are the descendants of Catholic French Canadians whom the British
  Empire expelled from the captured French territory of Acadia (modern-day Nova
  Scotia and its surrounding areas) in the 18th century. They emigrated to
  rural south Louisiana, territory owned by France prior to the Louisiana
  Purchase, which the new settlers called aAcadiana.a Modern Cajuns
  maintain connections to their heritage and culture through the French
  language and dialect, their cuisine, and their music. The Mamou Two-Step is
  named after the small Louisiana town of Mamou, given the epithet of aThe
  Cajun Music Capital of the World.a

James Reese Europe (1881-1919)
was an influential New York bandleader and composer during the first two decades of the 20th century. He first came to prominence as one of the founders of the Clef Club, an organization that provided musical support and performance opportunities for the citys Black musicians. He later
commanded a U.S. Army regiment during World War I, and was decorated for bravery for his service on the Western Front. "Congratulations" was composed in 1914 to accompany the celebrated dance partnership of Vernon and Irene Castle, for which Europe served as musical arranger and conductor.

Congratulations - Waltz

String Orchestra Score & Parts

This arrangement of The Castle Walk Rag (1914) provides several musical
  and technique-building opportunities for middle and/or high school
  orchestras. The repetitive syncopations and close harmonies in works from the
  ragtime (or pre-jazz) era give students a chance to reinforce intonation and
  rhythmic skills. On a repertoire level, the contributions of historically
  under-represented Black composers deserve wider recognition. Performing works
  such as this one by Europe and Dabney can broaden students' and teachers'
  understandings of this important era in American music.

The Castle Walk Rag

These two movements from Haydn's Symphony No. 3 demonstrate the composer's gift for contrast, lightness and humor, and freshness of musical ideas. This arrangement provides engaging and energetic melodic and rhythmic material across the ensemble.

Menuet and Finale

This is an arrangement of the final movement from one of Mozartis early
  string quartets, written in Vienna when the composer was 17 years old. The
  work provides challenging rhythmic-contrapuntal and chromatic material across
  the ensemble.

Fugue in F Major

This arrangement of Europe and Dabneyis "Castleis Half and
  Half" provides a window into early 20th century society dance music, as
  informed by the ragtime (or pre-jazz) harmonies of the period. The
  closely-voiced chords and doubling throughout the work provide opportunities
  for strengthening ensemble tone and intonation, while the 5/4 meter provides
  a unique rhythmic/phrasing learning experience. On a repertoire level, the
  contributions of historically under-represented Black composers deserve wider
  recognition. Performing works such as this one can deepen studentsi and
  teachersi understandings of this important era in American music.
