This march is the perfect way to open your festive programmes. Opening up with a fanfare to announce the start of a concert, the music then settles into a traditional march format with festive melodies. The Bass Solo consists of 'Ding Dong Merrily' which precedes the gentle Trio section of 'In the Bleak Midwinter' and finishing with a hint of 'Jingle Bells'.

Salvationist March - duration 3.26.
Selected as the winning march in the 1926 International Music Composition Contest, Fighting for the Lord shows the contrapuntal skills and original harmonic style of the Danish-American arranger.
This march’s title is not patriotic but relates to the Salvation Army flag, a symbol of spiritual liberation and salvation. The score notes, written by the editor, Lieut-Colonel Frederick Hawkes, refer to ‘the well-contrasted melodies, the balanced effect of the scoring and ever-changing effects in regard to light and shade’.
