Wellington's Victory is louder --- more cannon shots!

They should play both of these live in a concert hall...with real cannons.

Ya, we're reading this as well; I'm lovin it. Horn part's a little tame though.

I heart Persis =) Our wind ensemble played it last year and the slow section got me teary-eyed every time =')

...which might have been bad, because I was the solo horn ^^;;

the solo horn part is awesome! but so is the clarinet and flute solo.
