Salvation Army selection
None Other Name was written for the 1960 tour of England by the New York Staff Band of The Salvation Army and can justifiably be termed a classic of brass band repertoire. It is best described as a symphonic medley of six songs focused on the name of Christ; The Saviour's Name; Jesus is the Sweetest Name I know; There's a Wonderful Name, 'tis Jesus; He's the Lily of the Valley; Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee (St. Agnes); All Hal the Power of Jesus' Name (Diadem).

An excellent concert piece of three traditional but contrasting songs, a love poem, a song of longing and loss, and a quick jaunty celebration of traditional life.
The Sweet Lass of Richmond Hill from Yorkshire is a love ballad. The lass is Frances l’Anson, whose parents disapproved of her chosen love, and the couple eloped. The piece popularised the poetic phrase – A Rose without a Thorn.
The Oak and the Ash from Lancashire is a traditional song comparing town and country life – a very popular theme in the 17th century. A girl from the North of England has moved to London to find a husband, but she is lonely in the city and wishes she could be home again – ‘O the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Elum tree, they’re all growing green in the North Country’
The Keel Row from Northumberland is a traditional folk song evoking the life and work of the Keelmen of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and with it’s quick light beat it is used as the trot march for the Life Guards and the Royal Horse Artillery.
