> "The Severn Suite" by Edward Elgar (score by Bram Gay)
> 
> There were 2 reasons for this choice:
> 
> (1)  The bands taking part have expressed an opinion that they would like 
> a respite for playing new and technically demanding test pieces.
> 
> (2)  The premiere of Elgar's First Symphony was played at the Free Trade 
> Hall, Manchester so it is significant that the first work to be played in 
> the new venue (Bridgewater Hall) should also be by Elgar.
