This is an amazing march by Clive Barraclough. It have some nice, fast moving lines for the euphonium as well as some nice, lyrical melody lines. It's one of those marches where you're catching your breath at the end.

I guess a little of A and a little of B.
Hi, very nice to hear you talking of 'Simoraine'. I'm Clive's son and the piece was named after myself and my sister, Lorraine. Although it is 10 years since Clive passed away, the fact that this terrific march lives on is always a source of pride and pleasure. I didn't become a musician, despite my dad's best efforts; I became a writer instead! Best, Simon
For those who are not familiar with "Simoraine", here's a link where you can listen to a 1 minute sample. It's the first one listed on the CD "Listen to the Band Collection" (need to scroll down some). This one is played by the Black Dyke Mills Brass Band.

Thanks Simon Barraclough for posting. Interesting about how your father named that after you and your sister Lorraine. Never knew that.
