Partch Castor and Pollux — you might need to make a ruling on if this is eligible

Yeah I think the Harry Partch should count......it's in a little bit of a grey area because it's pretty much just a work that is almost simply a percussion ensemble work (well, it's in the spirit of a percussion ensemble considering these instruments are non-standard and wouldn't find them anywhere else except in the dreams of percussionists and Partch fans).

Bueno!
Yeah. Technically there is a keyboard and a stringed instrument ... Partch fits few pre existing categories!

Not so interested in arrangements of orchestral works by other composers, sorry! Maybe pick another piece?
