One of the best orchestral transcriptions for band. IMHO, it retained pretty completely the original fidelity of the orchestral music, and also added some of the unique wind sonorities. We played this during our high school competition. Tough tough music for us then, but immensely satisfying.

Excellent - thanks for posting this. The story of the Peterloo Massacre in Manchester (the city of my birth) fantastically well told by the great Malcolm Arnold. Notice how the lovely melody at the beginning (people gathering peacefully for parliamentary reform) is suddenly invaded by the marching feet of the soldiers, sent to break up the meeting.
A hymn for equality and fighting for your rights-a masterpiece-hope we will we hear it if all banks, insurances and all "parties" are away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
