Mac,

I am assuming that you are not making a joke.

According to the Merriam Webster online dictitionary:
http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=set+piece

Main Entry: set piece
Function: noun
1 a : a composition (as in literature, art, or music) executed in a
fixed or ideal form often with studied artistry and brilliant effect
b : a scene, depiction, speech, or event that is obviously designed to
have an imposing effect
2 : a realistic piece of stage scenery standing by itself
3 : a precisely planned and conducted military operation <an offensive
set piece that caught the enemy off guard>
- set-piece adjective

I believe the sense of "set piece" that Jan intended is 1b. "a scene,
depiction, speech, or event that is obviously designed to have an
imposing effect".
