Hey Mr. Gorst, ok the four music clips sounded really good. The first suite was written for a full military band in 1909. During this time of band music, the repertoire was almost exclusively transcriptions from orchestral works.
The first movement, "Chaconne", is based upon the 8-measure melody initiated by the low brass and woodwinds.
The second movement, "Intermezzo", is devoted to a rhythmic and well-articulated oboe and cornet soli. The exploitation of wind band tone colour combinations flavor this movement.
The third movement, "March", is usually played at a march tempo, although many recordings play it quite fast. It opens with the famous bass drum solo, one of the few in the band literature.
All three pieces feature the mid-low woodwinds with the second theme in a lyrical and legato manner. The end of the march, used both melodies layered on top of one another and with some variation in the woodwinds. The last few bars are very powerful and has one of the most famous trombone solis in the band repertoire.
Hah, I so got my internet back.
These songs rock so hard.
And I'm still working on the Zelda thing, except I am really mad at Finale Notepad because it's silly and I can't figure out how to put in rolls for the drum.
