Salvation Army March
If you enjoyed listening to this extact, you can buy the complete CD recording on our website : WORLD CLASS MARCHES of the Salvation Army Volume 1 The Black Dyke Band conducted by Dr.Nicholas Childs.
When the New York Staff Band toured England in 1960 they featured much new music written for them by Erik Leidzen, including this march. The trio section is in the unusual key (brass band pitch) of Db major, a major third away from the opening key of F major, rather than the more predictable subdominant of Bb major. This presents a technical and mental challenge to the players but provides a particularly brilliant sonority when played in tune!

The Jewel in the Crown was a massive hit on British television in the mid-1980s and George Fenton’s theme music was much heard. Bill Geldard has idiomatically transferred it to the sound of the brass band.

This Festival (Concert) March was a pacesetter among 'new' Salvation Army marches of the 1960s with its refreshing harmonic language and use of Latin American rhythmic style.
