Paradise by the Dashboard Light was a smash hit from the rock star Meatloaf. On the album he sang the song with Ellen Foley, but the famous video clip was play backed with the singer Karla DeVito. In this song, composed in three sections, a man reminisces on a sex date he had in his teens with a girl. The setting, in classic American style, is inside a parked car. The ensuing activities between boy and girl are then described in the style of a baseball game report.

Unter Der Admirals Flagge
Julius Fucik (Prague 1872 - Leitmeritz 1916) is rightly considered as the 'Czech March King'. This pupil of Antonin Dvorak was a military bandmaster in the Imperial and Royal Army of the Austrian-Hungarian Danube Monarchy. His marches 'Florentiner Marsch' and 'Entry of the Gladiators' became world famous, but we should not forget neither his splendid overtures (such as 'Marinarella') nor his famous bassoon solo 'Der alte Brummbär' (The Old Grumbler). The magnificent concert march 'Under the Admiral's Flag' Opus 82 was written for the official launching ceremony of the cruiser 'Viribus unitis' of the Austrian-Hungarian Navy. It was the second march by Fucik to be published, the first being 'Sarajevo'.

Marching Time
The versatile Dutch composer Kees Vlak (Amsterdam 1938) proves that also he knows how to write a fine march. 'Marching Time' is a kind of pastiche of a thrilling swing march as introduced with US Air Force Bands by Glenn Miller's version of 'Saint Louis Blues March'. Vigorous drum solos give this modern march a martial character so that it can easily be used as an original quick march. This march was composed in 1980 and was commissioned by the S.O.M.N.O., the then umbrella organization for all Dutch band associations.

Cartoon
The Flemish composer and arranger Marcel Peeters has certainly influenced the wind band repertoire of the last decade. With his usual talent he arranged some fine cartoon melodies into a relaxing medley. You don't even have to know or recognise the cartoons but you still know you are listening to cartoon soundtracks. The orchestration is really suggesting and varied. This music turns you into a youngster again.

Elegia Romana
Rhapsodic Poem
Impressive and yet gentle, the proud eagle soars over the mountaintops and through the ravines of the Karpaten. As the uncrowned king of the air, he observes all earthly events from Romania's highest peaks, and from the highest altitudes, with his sharp and watchful eyes, he sees all……

Epic Journey to Torshavn
Epic Journey to Torshavne is an impressive concert work, commissioned by Gouden Spiker Festival 2016. The journey begins At Sea as trombones announce first sighting of the island. A stirring theme in basses creates mystery and anticipation as the island gradually appears. A lively theme in 3/2 introduces Folk Dance & Celebration conjuring dramatic images of early settlers, followed by a calmer rendition entitled People of Torshavn. A brass chorale segues into Finale with a fast reprise and brass chords underscore the splendour of the island.
