Domino (Jacques Plante) - One of several excellent arrangements of Glen Osser. This fast-moving, vigorous number is excellent 'big band' music with all its variations in dynamics, splitsecond chords, and forte-pianos. Summer of '42 (Michel Legrand) - This beautiful melody forms an alto saxophone feature which is played by James Talbot.
The music is in marked contrast to the previous number. There are also some fine flute and trumpet phrases which make this a particularly satisfying arrangement. I Can't Get Started (Ira Girshwin) - This very popular number from the '30s Jazz era was made famous by Bunny Berigan as a trumpet feature.

The late Dr Denis Wright arranged ~larch Paraphrase for Brass Band from Edward German's orchestral work 'Welsh Rhapsody'. The well-known Welsh melody is treated in various guises and has a thrilling climax. 'Galop' is the 3rd movement of Malcolm Arnold's Little Suite No. 2 and is, as the title portrays, a very fast and exciting ending. 21
