UNDER TWO FLAGS (Brass Band Set) - Bramwell Coles

The catalyst for this march came during Bramwell Coles' brief service in the Royal Army Medical Corps at the end of World War One. It was intended as a salute to British Salvationists serving in the Armed Forces and includes quotations from several national airs like Rule Britannia, Men of Harlech, Bluebells of Scotland and God save the King (Queen).

VARIATIONS ON 'MACCABEUS' (Brass Band Set) - Kevin Norbury

This set of variations was composed for the ISB's tour of Australia, New Zealand and Japan in 1995. Handel's majestic tune is associated with the great resurrection hymn 'Thine is the glory, risen, conquering Son' and melodic fragments of the tune form the basis of the four variations. The tune is heard in its entirety at the beginning and near the end and the piece finishes with a vigorous coda.

Revised Version. Based on the noble hymn tune of the same name by Sir Hubert H. Parry, there are seven variations, the seventh of which is a fugato.

VICTOR, The (Brass Band Set) - Kenneth Downie

Written for the Melbourne Staff Band, this march features the hymn tune, 'Millennium'. While the origins of the tune are unclear, it has a distinct character; from the opening rising fourth interval through to its conclusion, it embodies strength and vigour. The composer has hinted at the style brilliantly employed by the great Australian march writer, Arthur Gullidge, by opting for a minor key in the first section offset by a melodious trio section in a major key.

VICTORY FOR ME! (Brass Band Set) - Wilfred Heaton

Completed in the 1970s, this is a Ravel-inspired bolero treatment of the tune 'My beautiful home' which is associated with the words 'There's victory for me'. It is fresh, inventive and wonderfully scored with a cheeky 'throw-away' ending.
