I would have hoped for a piece that would test a student's musicianship of the assigned criteria but THIS WAS NOT IT!! Just listening to it was a sad example of UIL dropping the ball by not checking for musicality and level of difficulty. If they had actually checked each level, they would have saw that the Level 4 was more difficult than the level 5 and should have made adjustments. And if it is ok for the level 4 to be more difficult, then WHY HAVE LEVELS. I have always had problems with pieces from this composer and when I saw he had written it my heart sank. I say let Willie Owens write ALL sightreading music because at least it would sound like an enjoyable song. {end of rant}
