Comrades In Arms has been a staple of the Male Voice Choir repertoire for almost 150 years. The lyrics are from an earlier poem by George Linley (1798-1865), set to music by the French composer Adolphe Adam (1803-1856), who is perhaps better known for his operas and ballets. Adam provides all the musical contrast you would expect from an operatic composer: from the quiet, tranquil, opening refrain of On the breeze a sound is sounding , through a vigorous Allegro section, before finishing with a march-style call-and-response Be true and brave, and win the fight , he keeps the listener entertained throughout. This exciting chorus is sure to impress any audience. It has been scored for TTBB, and includes a Piano reduction.
