Woodwind Instrumentation Codes

Following many of the titles in our Wind Ensemble catalog, you will see a set of numbers enclosed in square brackets, as in this example:

Description	Price
Rimsky-Korsakov Quintet in Bb [1011-1 w/piano] Item: 26746	$28.75

The bracketed numbers tell you the precise instrumentation of the ensemble. The first number stands for Flute, the second for Oboe, the third for Clarinet, the fourth for Bassoon, and the fifth (separated from the woodwinds by a dash) is for Horn. Any additional instruments (Piano in this example) are indicated by "w/" (meaning "with") or by using a plus sign.

Flute   Oboe   Clarinet   Bassoon   —   Horn

This woodwind quartet is for 1 Flute, no Oboe, 1 Clarinet, 1 Bassoon, 1 Horn and Piano.

Sometimes there are instruments in the ensemble other than those shown above. These are linked to their respective principal instruments with either a "d" if the same player doubles the instrument, or a "+" if an extra player is required. Whenever this occurs, we will separate the first four digits with commas for clarity. Thus a double reed quartet of 2 oboes, english horn and bassoon will look like this:

0,2+1,0,1-0

Note the "2+1" portion means "2 oboes plus english horn"

Titles with no bracketed numbers are assumed to use "Standard Instrumentation." The following is considered to be Standard Instrumentation:

• Duo - Flute & Clarinet - or [1010-0]
• Trio - Flute, Oboe & Clarinet - or [1110-0]
• Quartet - Flute, Oboe, Clarinet & Bassoon - or [1111-0]
• Quintet - Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon & Horn - [or 1111-1]

Brass Instrumentation Codes

Following many of the titles in our Brass Ensemble catalog, you will see a set of five numbers enclosed in square brackets, as in this example:

Description	Price
Copland Fanfare for the Common Man [343.01 w/tympani] Item: 02158	$14.95

The bracketed numbers tell you how many of each instrument are in the ensemble. The first number stands for Trumpet, the second for Horn, the third for Trombone, the fourth (separated from the first three by a dot) for Euphonium and the fifth for Tuba. Any additional instruments (Tympani in this example) are indicated by a "w/" (meaning "with") or by using a plus sign.

Trumpet     Horn     Trombone   .   Euphonium     Tuba

Thus, the Copland Fanfare shown above is for 3 Trumpets, 4 Horns, 3 Trombones, no Euphonium, 1 Tuba and Tympani. There is no separate number for Bass Trombone, but it can generally be assumed that if there are multiple Trombone parts, the lowest part can/should be performed on Bass Trombone.

Titles listed in our catalog without bracketed numbers are assumed to use "Standard Instrumentation." The following is considered to be Standard Instrumentation:

• Brass Duo - Trumpet & Trombone, or [101.00]
• Brass Trio - Trumpet, Horn & Trombone, or [111.00]
• Brass Quartet - 2 Trumpets, Horn & Trombone, or [211.00]
• Brass Quintet - 2 Trumpets, Horn, Trombone & Tuba, or [211.01]
• Brass Sextet and greater - No Standard Instrumentaion

People often ask us about "PJBE" or "Philip Jones" instrumentation. This is a special instrumentation adopted and perfected by the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble. It consists of the forces 414.01, and often includes Percussion and/or Tympani. In addition, there are often doublings in the Trumpet section - Piccolo and Flugelhorn being the most common. While this instrumentation has come to be common, it is still not "Standard" as many Brass Dectets use very different forces, most often with more Horns than PJBE.

String Instrumentation Codes

Following many of the titles in our String Ensemble catalog, you will see a set of four numbers enclosed in square brackets, as in this example:

Description	Price
Atwell Vance's Dance [0220] Item: 32599	$8.95

These numbers tell you how many of each instrument are in the ensemble. The first number stands for Violin, the second for Viola, the third for Cello, and the fourth for Double Bass. Thus, this string quartet is for 2 Violas and 2 Cellos, rather than the usual 2110. Titles with no bracketed numbers are assumed to use "Standard Instrumentation." The following is considered to be Standard Instrumentation:

• String Duo - Viola & Viola - [1100]
• String Trio - Violin, Viola, Cello - [1110]
• String Quartet - 2 Violins, Viola, Cello - [2110]
• String Quintet - 2 Violins, Viola, Cello, Bass - [2111]

The closest thing to a "sequel" in themes is the Justice League Unlimited series, particularly the storyline that tackles speedster speed limits and time manipulation.

A masterpiece of animated sorrow. Bring tissues. And a helmet.

, but the "Paradox" is the DNA of every DC animated movie released between 2013 and 2020. To see the fallout of Barry’s choice, your next stop is Justice League: War expand on the specific viewing order of the DCAMU or focus the draft more on the Tomorrowverse transition

(2014). Below is the proper sequence to follow for the full "Part 2" experience and the conclusion of that storyline. 1. The Direct Sequel: Justice League: War

Takes place in the "New 52" inspired timeline created by the Flash.

This is the immediate successor to Flashpoint . It showcases the newly formed universe where the world's greatest heroes do not know each other yet. When Darkseid launches an invasion of Earth, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Cyborg, and Shazam must unite for the very first time. It establishes the status quo of the timeline Barry created. 2. Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay (2018)

Just as Flashpoint presented a broken world destroyed by war, Apokolips War showcases Earth after a failed preemptive strike against Darkseid. The planet is conquered, millions are dead, and surviving heroes are broken or mutated. 2. Flash as the Ultimate Solution

The original story ends with the Flashpoint universe seemingly erased as Barry Allen fixes the timeline. However, Flashpoint Beyond reveals that this dark reality survived. Thomas Wayne (the brutal Batman of the Flashpoint universe) wakes up in his Gotham City, realizing his world did not vanish. The Clockwork Killer and the Divine Continuum

The final ten minutes are pure tragedy. Barry reaches the “Origin Point”—the kitchen in his childhood home, the night his mother died. He has a choice, the same choice. But this time, Thawne is there, holding a knife to Nora’s throat. The Reverse-Flash offers a deal: Let the timelines merge, and Nora lives forever in a loop.

Following Lois Lane and Grifter as they fight through an Amazon-occupied Great Britain.

Barry looked at the death around him—the burning world, the dying soldiers, the hopelessness of the Flashpoint. He made the hardest choice of his life.

The critical reception for Part Two was notably mixed:

The 2013 movie is fast-paced. It focuses on the dystopian, war-torn landscape created by Reverse-Flash and manipulated by Barry's actions. Many fans desire a "part two" that would cover:
