Program Notes
Peter Graham is a well-known and highly respected composer and arranger and his mambo style arrangement of John Larsson's popular song Ask and It Shall Be Given has been widely used and well-received as part of the Salvation Army brass band repertoire.

Brian Bowen's re-scoring for concert band will bring a new and fresh 'feel' to the music, whether or not the words and melody are familiar. It's fun to play and the additional textures provided by the woodwind sounds will add to the authenticity of the arrangement's style and charatcer.
