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 composerAdolphe 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 openingrefrain 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 entertainedthroughout. This exciting chorus is sure to impress any audience. It has been scored for TTBB and includes a Piano reduction.

Originally this very famous song by Adolphe Adam was arranged for brass band and B-flat instrument. Yet it is perfectly possible to feature a vocal soloist. The text is therefore included. This work is suitable as a slow interlude in your program.
