KeepArmenian Dances: This is one of the most performed compositions in the literature and is considered part of the core repertoire. Would prefer keeping the other two as well, but there is limited information available online, it seems. Here are some sources:
Begian, Harry (October 1985). "Alfred Reed's "Armenian Dances" (Part I): A Rehearsal Analysis." The Instrumentalist
Salzman, Timothy, ed. (2003). "Alfred Reed." A Composer's Insight: Thoughts, Analysis, and Commentary on Contemporary Masterpieces for Wind Bands. Vol. 1. Meredith Music. pp. 119–130
Gaines, David Alan (Fall 1988). "A Core Repertoire Of Concert Music For High School Band." Journal of Band Research
Montellano, Raquel G. (2004). On a Hymnsong of Philip Bliss and Armenian Dances, Part I: A Conductor's Study Guide of Two Popular Works. (MM thesis). The University of Texas at El Paso
KeepArmenian Dances per Why? I Ask. Weak KeepThe Hounds of Spring, which is the subject of a dissertation
[1] and like Armenian Dances, is used as pedagogical example
[2]. Merge and RedirectEl Camino Real to
Alfred Reed, and merge/redirect the other articles too if they end up not being kept.

Strong keep for Armenian dances: I was extremely surprised to see Armenian Dances at AfD, seeing as it is one of the cornerstone works of concert band literature. I've found a couple extra sources in addition to those above
Together this should be a clear GNG pass. As for the others, I agree with a redirect to
Alfred Reed for El Camino Real (sadly I cannot find anything either). I'm ambivalent on The Hounds of Spring: it's used quite widely in band teaching but I'm not sure the sources above are a clear GNG pass. Consider this a neutral as my gut feeling is a weak keep but I don't have a policy-based reasoning. All the best,

Comment - It looks like the "El Camino Real" article will be kept, but if so the title will have to be moved to correspond with disambig standards. It should be "El Camino Real (song)" or possibly "El Camino Real (Alfred Reed song)". See the other music-related items at the
disambig page. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Keep all pages listed by nominator. Disambiguation for El Camino Real ought to be "El Camino Real (Reed composition)" or "El Camino Real (composition)". It is not a "song". —
