Invention is an exciting work for high school or college orchestra that features an accented, multi-metered main theme, contrapuntal writing, a fugue, a reflective melodic interlude, and an optional extended violin cadenza. The title refers to the process undertaken by great inventors such as Thomas Edison and Leonardo Da Vinci. In this work, the composer reflects the many emotions and processes an inventor might experience as he is working on his creation: the spark of inspiration, the excitement of a new project, trial and error, frustration and anger, intensity, and, at last, success!

Michel Cals (b. 1951) composed his Four Inventions for Percussion and Piano to be played in a competition at Paris Conservatoire. As an unusual, contemporary addition to the Percussion repertoire, this Cals piece is a must-play for percussionists wishing to broaden their style. The four pieces bear the name of their instrumentation; 1. Accessories and Vibraphone, 2. Xylo-Marimba, 3. Snare Drum and Drum Kit, and 4. Five Timpani. Exploiting Percussion to its full potential, Cals' Four Inventions is essential to the repertoire of advanced percussionists..

Bach's Two-Part Inventions, first printed in 1801, have played a key role in modern-day music education for decades. Bach dedicated the predecessor of these works to his son, Wilhelm Friedemann they were originally-titled Preambulum and compiled within the collection of piano music known today as Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (1720). The principle aim of these pedagogical works was to promote the acquisition of clean two-part playing as well as stylistically-sound cantabile playing. As a musical form, the invention left its mark on the music composition tendencies and conventions of the 17th century as well as its musical performance practices. Bach'sinventions as a whole also provide students with insight into the fundamentals of counterpoint.
