Malcolm Arnold is one Britain's best-loved composers. In 1948 he composed a very short suite for the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain - entitled simply To Youth. Seven years later he took To Youth and made some fairly major revisions, including a complete new movement, and the Little Suite for Orchestra was born. The Little Suite for Orchestra follows a very similar pattern to the later suites for brass band, starting with a bold, strident Prelude, which strangely ends quietly before a lovely, lilting, Dance composed in 3/8 time. Finally a rollicking and militaristic March brings the suite to a conclusion. This arrangement for brass band by Robin Norman is sure tobecome a classic in the brass band repertoire.

Malcolm Arnold, der 2006 verstorben ist, ist einer der popularsten Komponisten Grossbritanniens. Das Stück To Youth, das er 1952 für das Nationale Jugendorchester Grossbritanniens komponierte und spater zur Little Suite for Orchestra erweiterte, liegt nun in einem gelungenen Arrangement für Brass Band vor. Es beginnt mit einer kühnen Prelude, die ungewohnlich ruhig endet, bevor ein lieblicher Tanz im 3/8-Takt einsetzt. Ein ausgelassener, militarischer Marsch führt das Werk zu seinem Schluss.
