Released on 17 November 2017, "You Are the Reason" is a song by British singer-songwriter Calum Scott. On 9 February 2018, Scott released a remix version of the song with Leona Lewis. Scott remarked in a statement: "Working with Leona was a dream come true. As a fan, I first remember watching her on TV before going on to grace the globe with her incredibly beautiful voice. Now having the honour of working with her on one of my own songs is completely surreal and the passion and raw emotion she brings to our duet makes it even more special to me." This duet version adds a new meaning to the song.

Arrangement for clarinet quartet of some of Scott Joplin\'s most famous songs. This medley includes the songs The Entertainer, The Easy Winners, Felicity Rag, Palm Leaf Rag, A Breeze From Alabama, Something Doing, The Chrysanthemum, The Strenuous Life and Peacherine Rag.

Scott Joplin perfected ragtime music and raised it to a true art form. A man of his time, yet clearly hindered by it, his strenuous life unfolded with joy and sorrow, success and failure. The "Strenuous Life? presents a simple stroll, high-strutting kicks, intricate syncopations, a gentle middle section, and a stirring conclusion. The original piano rag was published in 1902 by John Stark & Son of St. Louis, Missouri. The title may have referred to a famous speech delivered by Teddy Roosevelt in Chicago in 1899. In this version, the composition was arranged for Double Reed Quartet by Harry Walker.
