Description
Old English March by Holst (This tune appears in hymn books along with the hymn ‘Onward Christian soldiers’)
This arrangement is suitable for school orchestras and ensembles. The arrangement allows for a great deal of flexibility in
presentation and will sound complete with as few as four players yet the scoring allows for expansion up to a full symphonic orchestra, concert band or brass band.
As with all music available from davidcatherwoodmusic.com this arrangement has been well tried and tested in performance – In this case by the Campbell College Orchestra where this orchestra of around forty players use arrangements such as this regularly in Services and concerts in the college.
