My concert band puts on a themed concert each spring planned by the seniors. This year they decided the theme is going to be "British Music through the Ages" We so far have the following on the program:
First Suite in E-Flat--Gustav Holst
Engilsh Folk Song Suite--Ralph Vaughn Williams
Brittania--a medley of "Rule Brittania", "O God, Our Help in Ages Past", "Girl from Amsterdam", and another I can't quite remember.
The London Symphony by F.J. Haydn
We're also playing a few more modern pieces including "Imagine" by John Lennon, "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton, "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. We also have a great arrangement of "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, but we played it last year.
I am looking for other suggestions from anyone across the pond. Folk music suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
np
