Nigel!
At last! It's a Spark(e) of hope!
Wondered already if the name would ever come up.

As we will play "the Dragon" after the summer and because I have it on a 
tape (where it is performed (sorry again) by a fanfare orch.) and play it at 
least three times a week, I know it almost by heart by now.

By no means under the impression that I could add to your knowledge of the 
piece, I'lld say you might hope for a really great persussionist on the 
snaredrum on the opening and finish (Great effect if played good, great 
bummer if not).
And personally I EVERY time get shivers in the 'chorale' part.

Timing and real enthousiasm on top of the acquired technique would be the 
key to performing this magnificent piece.

Talking about Sparke: anyone ever hear or play The Sunken Village? Or 
Jubilee Overture. I have. (played)
Common ground here BB'ers?   ;-)
