Formerly rarely heard clical pieces that become ubiquitous.?

Well - 3 weeks ago, I did not know the name of this work - and thank to S C Johnson and their GLADE commercial, I do not need to hear it EVER again - although I am sure I will - it's the Delius "Sleigh Ride". And of course - ALL OF THE ABOVE so far named. As someone who judges NYSSMA festivals, I can tell you that despite the large lists from which to choose, we hear the SAME works over and over. At dinner, we compare - how many Moonlights, Spinning Songs, Knechts, etc. we have heard. DH and I make sure that our private students play things that have a SLIM chance of being played by anyone else - aural fatigue in any judge is a dangerous thing.
