The Ashburton Salvation Army Band has, in its repertoire, a classical selection, “Excerpts from the Great Masters No. 2.” This has just been received direct from the celebrated Salvation Army composer and arranger, Bandmaster Arthur W. Gullidge, of Melbourne, and is at yet unpublished. The band will play it from manuscript. It includes excerpts from Offenbach’s “Orphee aux Enfers,” Rubinstein’s popular “Melody in F,” and the latter part of Rossini’s “Semiramidie.” When the band presents it at the evening festival on Easter Saturday night it will be the first public performance given in New Zealand. It is the intention of the band to repeat it in its Sunday afternoon programme in the Queen’s Park Rose Gardens.
