This is a Caribbean fantasy sub-titled Postcard from Jamaica.
Three tuned percussion are featured in this arrangement of Mango Walk, which is a traditional West Indian tune given a very colourful and individual treatment. In fact there are four percussion parts but the 4th is optional and can be played by a band player.

‘I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls’, otherwise known as ‘The Gypsy Girl’s Dream’ is a popular aria from the opera ‘The Bohemian Girl’ by Michael William Balfe. There have been countless recorded versions of the song, most notably recently by Irish singer Enya.
This arrangement for Brass Band beautifully captures the lyrical quality of the song.
After a gentle beginning the arrangement weaves between solo cornets taking the lead and full tutti band with broad harmonies. The continual pulse of this piece, which is in ¾ time, also allows space for rubato evoking the original writing as an aria. A vocal number lending itself very well to the brass band idiom.

First performed in 1882, the Nutcracker Suite (which included this march) was a huge success and became highly popular. The march features in the ballet when the children march around the tree on Christmas eve, filled with excitement and anticipation of the next morning. Some great lip slurs for the Solo Comets whilst Basses have moving staccato quavers to keep them occupied.
