COMPOSER : John van Gulik

This march was humorously written using tunes which are commonly sung as a benediction to conclude a Salvation Army meeting. Some have been modified from their original 3/4 time signature so the recognition may take a few bars to happen. The tunes used are “Benediction”, “O Father let Thy love remain”, and “Shepherd of Israel”.

This arrangement is based around the Salvation Army Brass Band line up and the scoring is as follows

Soprano Cornet - 1st Cornet - 2nd Cornet - Flugel - 1st Horn - 2nd Horn - Baritone - 1st Trombone - 2nd Trombone - Bass Trombone - Euphonium - Eb Bass - Bb Bass - Percussion as required

Alternative parts for the lower brass include

All horn parts in F

Baritone, Trombone, Euphonium and Basses all with alternative parts in Bass Clef
