Having played nearly all the great marches both in the brass band and orchestral repertoire, I was keen to create a cross between the best of brass band marches, and two of the great English orchestral composers of grand marches, Elgar and Walton.
It was the slower 2nd subject sections of Elgar and Walton's marches in particular which I wanted to replicate and here is the result.
This piece is intended to be a bright, sparkling concert march and features the spiritual 'I GOT A ROBE'.
The quick tempo is to encourage a performance of sparkle and wit and, at the same time, to reflect the mood of celebration in the spiritual. The song was sung by slaves to encourage them to remember that, although they might be deprived of even basic items like robes in their present plight, one day, when they get to heaven, 'all God's children got a robe'.
