General guidelines for placement on the GML:

literature." Music that possess excellent construction, as
well as providing opportunities for students to demonstrate
musical and technical playing. Quality music should be able
to "stand the test of time." Therefore music that has been
published within the pervious school year will be examined
closely, and may be asked to be resubmitted the following
school year. Additional qualities that are required for the
