Hi, Nigel.

My band, Concept Brass played the piece about a month ago as the finale
of our entertainment contest programme at the Auckland Bands'
Association Contest, and about two years ago, we played it at a concert
of major works by British composers, which included Henry the Fifth (R.
Vaughan-Williams), A Moorside Suite, Russian Funeral (Britten) among
others. The band enjoyed playing the Mathias and the audience was
pleased to hear some different music from the stuff all the other bands
insist on rolling out year after year. 
It's a relatively easy piece to play, too. Highly recommended!

Cheers,
Adrian J. Raven
