MARCHES - Cymbal crashes, screeching clarinets and harsh trombones. But a march comes in many colours - and not necessarily one to be marched to!

MARCH is more than a military instrument apt to shift groups of troops. Over the hills and far away we find a colourful postcard from the East signed Camille Saint-Saëns, a wild and wonderful chaos in 1776, a warm tribute to a Norwegian valley, a moving memorial to a dear friend, and a source of sheer enjoyment as in Percy Grainger’s Over the Hills and Far Away – vitamin C in musical form for children of all ages!
