Indeed it is.  But what we desperately need is commissions from composers
from other musical spheres, not just from the decadent, introspective world
of brass bands.

By the way, a couple of weeks ago someone (I think it was Monkey) commented
on how boring the subject matter on this list had become.  Now that we're
discussing MUSIC it seems to have become interesting again!  Hurray!!

Best wishes

Alec
