features Flugel Horn (but not a flugel horn solo)
Only in Sleep is a nostalgic vision of childhood re-experienced through dreams. Ēriks Ešenvalds has created a work of subtlety, yet powerful and expressive. The music has an incandescent freshness and the Flugel Horn soloist heard at the opening returns at the close, almost lost in reverie, whilst florid arabesques float over one last pair of chordal oscillations, winding down to nothing. This brilliant arrangement for brass band has become every bit as popular as the original choral setting.

A brief history: Pentecost Monday was a special day for schools in Yorkshire (England).
There were a variety of activities. The pupils of Sabine Baring-Gould would meet with the children of a nearby village. It seemed like a good idea that during the walk would be sung. But she could not find a suitable song and decided to write one by herself. "Onward Christian Soldiers" was the result.
It soon became very popular, though she herself was not entirely satisfied with the rhyme scheme. The melody used (St. Gertrude) was by the famous English composer Sir Arthur S. Sullivan.
Back to now: Gawan Roberts, has given the hymn a proper update. He gave the still popular song a solid rock beat and added daring harmonies. So it's popular, for current generations, again for years. Onward!

PREFACE
In 1980 the “Nederlandse Federatie van Christelijke Muziekbonden” (Dutch Federation of Christian Music Unions) took the initiative to publish a series of arrangements of well-know hymns. With this step the organizers wanted to be actively involved in enriching religious repertoire. In the course of the years the NFCM has been able to interest a number of well- known Dutch composers in attributing to the series, which resulted in a diverse collection of hymn-arrangements.
