Wow that slow start of #103 is so patient, it sounds like Wagner almost.

I just found an outstanding version of one of my favourite pieces from the concert band repertoire, Holst's First Suite for Military Band in E-Flat Major, performed by the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra:
Great playing, great recording. I'd love to hear them perform live, or even to just sit in on one of their rehearsals.

I'm working on a Black Mirror Series 3 retrospective. Did you know "Heaven is a Place on Earth" is based on a melody by Bach?

Yes. Also this
was based on the Minuet in G from the Anna Magdalena Notebook, and this
came from Beethoven's Sonata #8 in c ( Pathetique) 2'd movement.
A good tune is a good tune, no matter what century it is.
