With Fire and Sword evokes memories of the music which accompanied the great action-adventure movie serials of the 1930's. Often set in some exotic location full of "eastern promise", the scene might involve the strong-jawed hero of the hour being chased through a sweltering market-place by a band of sword- yielding villains.

This scenario will be familiar to fans of the Indiana Jones series, Steven Spielberg's cinematic homage to these early serials. As Dr Stephen Arthur Allen has observed, "Would that all international relations could be this much fun!"

Extracts performed by the Brighouse and Rastrick Band, conductor David King.
