I love to see this in practice,the band conductor is very amazing about the tempo

[@Drummy1945]

'O Valiant Hearts'........this wonderful hymn is frowned upon by so many clerics these days - sadly I have heard the comment 'it glorifies War' from more than one Vicar over the years that I have been singing in choirs from small church to Cathedral......they are generally the same ones who substitute 'Onward Christian Pilgrims' for 'Onward Christian soldiers'........sit hear listening to this wonderful gathering of Guards Musicians' rendition of the beautiful hymn 'Valiant Hearts' and marvel that there are those in the world today who would censor music!

To Lt. Col. Steven Barnwell: Well done, sir. Even the American sections - really well done. Watch that gut, though, Steve. I got rated for mine last year. Not fun getting rid of it - started running with the troops. Oh God what a chore. Anyway, well done! - Col. DBPHuguenot MD FACS, US Army MC
