Music we are rehearsing

When possible, we will post representative recordings of the pieces we are currently rehearsing..


The following are pieces for our 2026 Spring Concert – A World of Fantasy

Note: These are a mixture of example YouTube performances and Midi files, generated by Sibelius. They aim to provide us with a guide to what we are playing, but may not match our exact arrangement.


The Lord of the Rings Fantasy

J De Meij, H Shore

The first section of the LOTR Fantasy arrangement we are playing is based on the first movement of the attached recording from the beginning to 4mins 30secs.  Please note our arrangement goes up to 2mins 53secs, then we will cut to 3mins 43secs. We do not repeat the section as on the recording. 

After 4mins 30secs we will be going into an arrangement of The Breaking of the Fellowship (including In Dreams by the vocalist) by Howard Shore.

Selections from E.T

arr J Cacavas

Unfortunately this is the only recording of the arrangement of E.T we are playing Mike could locate. I’m sure we can do better – the piano rendition is well worth a listen too!
