First Choice is a simple, nimble and cheerful March with an infectious melody, a snappy bass solo and a trio section that is based on a predominantly syncopated feel.
Hectala is the historical place name of the Belgian-Limburgish village of Hechtel where, during the Second World War, the Welsh Guards were engaged in a five-day battle with the German troops. More than 200 soldiers and 35 inhabitants perished. This classical, steady march in 6/8 time was written as a memorial to these events. It sends a powerful message that in war, there are no winners.
