The best things in life are three

reldnahkramI was going to write a long post about trying to figure out how to classify classical music using ID3 tags so that it works with my MP3 player organization scheme, but the method I already have is pretty clearly ideal. That being said, if you have a method that works well for you, feel free to share.
So I'll ask a somewhat related question. Does anyone from Wind Ensemble remember playing Vaughn Williams's Toccata Marziale? It starts sorta like this:
I'm pretty sure I've played it, and I'm pretty sure it was in Wind Ensemble. This was bothering me Friday. In other (related news), I have a new CD. Assuming I'm not crazy re: above, there's only one piece on the CD I haven't played. Ah-hah: here was the LJ post I've been meaning to write.
I have this love-hate relationship with pieces I've played. I don't want to hear anything from Damn Yankees or Pippin ever again. But I really like Sibelius's 2nd, which we played Soph. year. And last week, WRTI played Tschaik 4, and it was awesome to listen to (on the coincidence front, 'RTI played Beethoven 9 that same day. That's the SCO's 2004-2005 rep. in one day of programming). Maybe it has something to do with the musical experience vs. the concert experience, I don't know.
I'm going to tie this all together with the new CD I got, which is full of pieces I've played. The two Holst Military Suites, the Vaughan Williams Toccata Marziale (which I know I've played - I don't have the tonal memory to have build up the strong memories of the piece that I had listening Friday having only listened to it once before on Wednesday) and Folk Song Suite. I've not played Holst's Hammersmith, which closes the CD, but one must have some new music.
EDIT: If someone wants to poke through the program archives in Underhill (probably in the seminar room, unless they've moved) and let me know whether the WE played the piece, I'd say thank you. But I really don't expect anyone to do this for me.
