Time to Shine

Time to Shine sets out to capture the spirit and fun of a theatrical stage-dance routine. Many will be familiar with the children's song Jesus bids us shine on which it is based. The piece is very light-hearted in character, and would easily lend itself to the addition of some imaginative choreography that could prove extremely entertaining and amusing on the right occasion!

In its original brass band form, the piece was written for The Salvation Army's Melbourne Staff Band when they toured the UK in 2001. It was used to great effect by the band on that trip.
