Description
Despite the wealth of folk music traditions in Portugal and the importance of the clarinet in the music of bandas filarmonicas, it is uncommon to find works featuring the clarinet using Portuguese folk music elements. In the interest of expanding this type of repertoire, three new works were commissioned from three different composers. The resulting works are Seres Imaginarios 3 by Luis Cardoso; Delirio Barroco by Tiago Derrica; and Memória by Pedro Faria Gomes. In an effort to submit these new works for inclusion into mainstream performance literature, the author has recorded these works on compact disc. This document includes interview transcripts with each composer, providing first-person discussion of each composition, as well as detailed biographical information on each composer. To provide context, the author has included a brief discussion on Portuguese folk music, and in particular, the role that the clarinet plays in Portuguese folk music culture.

Description
Four Souvenirs for Violin and Piano was composed by Paul Schoenfeld (b.1947) in 1990 as a showpiece, spotlighting the virtuosity of both the violin and piano in equal measure. Each movement is a modern interpretation of a folk or popular genre, re- envisioned over intricate jazz harmonies and rhythms. The work was commissioned by violinist Lev Polyakin, who specifically requested some short pieces that could be performed in a local jazz establishment named Night Town in Cleveland, Ohio. The result is a work that is approximately fifteen minutes in length. Schoenfeld is a respected composer in the contemporary classical music community, whose Café Music (1986) for piano trio has recently become a staple of the standard chamber music repertoire. Many of his other works, however, remain in relative obscurity. It is the focus of this document to shed light on at least one other notable composition; Four Souvenirs for Violin and Piano. Among the topics to be discussed regarding this piece are a brief history behind the genesis of this composition, a structural summary of the entire work and each of its movements, and an appended practice guide based on interview and coaching sessions with the composer himself. With this project, I hope to provide a better understanding and appreciation of this work.

Description
I will determine what the Average Handle Time goal should be for the company and establish why the Average Handle Time has increased over time. I am looking at data compiled from July 1st 2012 to June 30th 2013 in order to assist the company so it can budget resources more effectively in the future. For this project, there are a few questions I aim to answer. The questions are as followed: 1. What should the budgeted Average Handle Time be for the company in future time periods? 2. What are some improvements that can be made in order to manage Average Handle Time in the future time periods? Employees in the department spend their time answering client inquires over the phone, these questions are vital for the business to answer. Average Handle Time is the average duration of time it takes for the employee to answer questions from clients on each phone call. The company budgets the department based on how many calls they have answered in prior periods as well as the Average Handle Time goal for the entire department. They use this information for scheduling as well as hiring purposes to predict the number of employees needed to answer phone calls in future periods. I will attempt to answer these questions by using multiple data sources. I will gather information from multiple reports generated from the department software and data mine in order to answer some of the questions related to the project. I will also gain management feedback in terms of what is viewed as important as well as what they believe can be used to improve the Average Handle Time number in the future. These quantitative and qualitative measures will help narrow down on what the Average Handle Time should be budgeted for the department as well as what management could do to improve it in future periods.
