Light entertainment - dance influenced music with a distinct Japanese flavour.
The composer writes : " I was inspired to compose this tune after receiving a New Year postcard of Mount Fuji from a friend in Japan. Twice a year the sun sets directly behind the summit of Mount Fuji, creating a sparkling display, just like a diamond. This spectacular event is known to the Japanese as "Diamond Fuji", and can be seen from downtown Tokyo".

Verdi’s Requiem was first performed in May 1874 in Milan and was written to commemorate the life of the great Italian poet and writer Manzoni.
This arrangement comprises key moments from the Dies Irae (Day of Wrath) section. The main Dies Irae theme is followed by the Tuba Mirum, where offstage cornets play the role of judgment day trumpeters. A transition in the style of Verdi (and utilising material from the work) leads to the majestic Rex tremendae. Here the vocal soloists of the original are portrayed by the lyric voices of cornet, flugel horn, baritone and euphonium as the increasingly dramatic music draws to a conclusion.
