Mercury is a concert march composed in a typically British idiom. In 1990 Jan Van der Roost wrote this piece on the occasion of the 15-year anniversary of his own band: Brass Band Midden Brabant. Like many British marches the main theme is written in a minor key. Powerful and virtuoso themes characterize the first part of this march while the trio melody is much more melodical offering the tenor register to display its lyrical skills. Follows a dynamic passage for trombones and trumpets/cornets leading to a grandioso version of the main trio melody and thus concluding this march in a magnificent way.

Composer Jacob de Haan has based The Heart of Lithuania on five folk melodies from Lithuania a country that despite its small size has a rich cultural heritage.

Le dernier Rêve du Chêne-L’écrivain et poète danois Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) est entré dans l’histoire de la littérature mondiale grâce à ses innombrables contes. Le fantastique et le merveilleux y jouent un rôle primordial mais l'humour et la portée philosophique qui s'en dégage les font parfois ressembler à des satires plus qu'à des contes pour enfants. Doté d'une imagination extraordinaire Andersen allie l'ironie et le rêve en un subtil mélange. Traduits en plus de quatre-vingts langues ses contes n’ont pas de temporalité et continuent d’inspirer les écrivains réalisateurs chorégraphes sculpteurs peintres et compositeurs. The Last Dream of the Old Oak (Le dernier rêve du chêne) deMaxime Aulio s’inspire du conte éponyme d’Andersen. La musique descriptive nous raconte l’histoire d’un chêne antique et séculaire. « Il avait justement atteint trois cent soixante-cinq ans (…). Souvent par les beaux jours d'été il discutait avec les éphémères qui venaient s'ébattre et tourbillonner gaiement autour de sa couronne. (…) Le temps approchait où il allait se reposer (…). Le chêne (…) s'endormit pour tout le long hiver ; et il eut bien des rêves où sa vie passée lui revint en souvenir. (…) Et tout à coup le chêne éprouva comme si un nouveau et puissant courant de vie partant des extrémités de ses racines le traversait de part en part montant jusqu'à sa cime jusqu'au bout de ses plus hautes feuilles. (…) Soudainement ses racines se détachèrent de terre. (…) Ce fut la fin du rêve du vieux chêne. Une tempête terrible soufflait sur mer et sur terre. (…) Il tomba au moment où il rêvait qu'il s'élançait vers l'immensité des cieux. (…) »Les couleurs et les atmosphères créées par Maxime Aulio laissent à l'imagination toute la liberté de ses rêveries. The Last Dream of the Old Oak est une commande de la Communauté de Communes de Vinay en Isère (France) pour l’inauguration de son Musée de la Noix. L’œuvre fut donnée en création sous le titre éphémère du Dernier rêve du noyer mais l’histoire racontée était bien celle
