The Lakes

Written in two distinct sections, this opens with a lyrical theme reminiscent of many much-loved American hymns and gospel tunes. Important parts appear for all players, particularly featuring the bells, chimes, and euphonium. The second half of the piece is a British-style march, starting with a brief percussion interlude and gradually adding wind instruments until the full band finishes the march with all the enthusiasm it can muster!
