The music society Melodia Goldach from Switzerland commissioned Gilbert Tinner to write Start Up the Band, an ideal opening piece for any concert. Following a lively, fanfare-like brass introduction, high-spirited woodwind phrases and powerful bass and timpani lines, the theme is heard - in a rock style. The middle section, if played softly, can also be used as background music for presentation and announcements.
