Hi,
These are my favourites:
-Suite from ''der Rosenkavalier'' Richard Strauss/ arr. Jan Cober
-Xenia Sarda, Hardy Mertens
-Symphony 1: ''The Lord Of The Rings'', Johan de Meij
-Firebird Suite (Berceuse & Finale), Stravinsky Igor/Longfield Robert
-Elsa's procession to the Cathedral, Wagner
-3e movement ''For Nathalie'' from Third Symphony, James Barnes
-Variations on a Korean Folk Song, John Barnes Chance
-Canterbury Choral, Jan van der Roost
-To My Country (the trio part of the second movement, entitled 'In the Country', from the Third Symphony, Bernard Zweers (1854 - 1924).
-Loch Ness (poem sym.), Johan de Meij
for example....
The Dutch are good in writing original wind music.....
Every town has his own wind band, 50% of them, are playing without the clarinetfamily, but with the buglefamily (fanfare bands). Our best amateurbands are as good as the professional military bands. On high school are NO bands at all....
It's only the local community who preserves the music....
Greets,
Marcus
