Modern March

When looking for a name for his cheerful march, composer Luigi di Ghisallo was inspired by one of Europe’s most modern countries. Friendliness, optimism and a special awareness of fashion and style are typical for the Swedish people. With a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the light hair colour of most of the country's inhabitants, the author ultimately named his composition "Blond and Swedish".

BASIC SOUND
From S to XXL – Music for any band instrumentation

"Basic Sound" is a series by RUNDEL Music Publications offering an attractive and diversified repertoire to bands at grade 2 or 3 level, of sizes S to XXL. "Basic Sound" allows for performances by groups with limited instrumentation. Minimun requirements are clearly bracketed in the score.

The smallest size (S) of "Basic Sound" is based on the following instruments:
one (1) flute, two (2) clarinets, one (1) alto-saxophone, two (2) trumpets, one (1) trombone, one (1) baritone/euphonium, one (1) tuba and percussion.
Each edition also includes a full set of parts (XXL). That way the conductor can adjust the pieces of the "Basic Sound" series to his band's instrumentation.
