Level of difficulty = 1st. section
Composed for James Gourlay and the River City Brass Band, this piece has a driving energy in a quick compound time. There is a contrasting middle section, but valves will need to be well oiled for this one - exciting stuff !

Thumbnail sketch of Mexico - very difficult; with extravagant percussion.
Howard Snell writes: I wrote Postcard from Mexico for a BBC TV contest, because I urgently needed a finisher to provide an exciting and powerful end to the programme. PFM did the trick and to my surprise immediately became popular with bands and audiences. I evoked the atmosphere of Mexican music with nods towards Aaron Copland, Chavez and Ginastera. However the responsability for most of it, particularly the rhythmic difficulties and the unusual drunken middle section, must be laid at my door.
We grade it 2 and 3 because, while difficult, so many bands love to tangle with its problems.
Postcard from Mexico, by Howard Snell, is available on the CD 'Fever Fantasy!' by Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band, conducted by John Hinckley.
