Boosey and Hawkes Army of the Nile Concert Band Composed by Kenneth J. Alford Arranged by Frederick Fennell

Kenneth Alford's arresting title, Army of the Nile, evokes the past with his customary and telling dedication to a time in history when British soldiers were gathered in this part of Africa. The music provides expression that supercedes press comment and historical entry, in a way as only music can record those events. (4:00)
