You may recognize the folk tune "Over The Hills And Far Away" which I set in the first part of the march. Surprisingly I have never found another instrumental piece that uses the tune. Grainger subtitled his "Children's March" as "Over The Hills And Far Away" but it's a completely different tune.
Also interested in opinions on the lack of a "stinger" note at the end. What do you think, stinger or no stinger?
