REVIEW FROM 4 BARS
REST
It's a straight forward bit of work, written in 1956 with
three movements entitled, March, Solemn Music and Finale and was used
at the National Finals in the Fourth Section in 1957. The first
section is jaunty and lighthearted, the second is subdued and
tranquil, whilst the third is a symphonic march which gives the bands
plenty of chance to blow their socks off. All good stuff with the
second movement sounding like the theme from the Superman movie at
it's start - bands should enjoy it, but conductors will have to
refrain from wearing their underpants outside their trousers on
stage.
