Manfred Schneider (1953), is since 1972 a member of the German Military Band Heeresmusikkorps 300) based at Koblenz. After his overture 'Upside Down' and the rhythmical study 'Rock and Go' Molenaar Edition now publishes this lyrical 'Song of Freedom'. A nice slow tune turns into a very rhythmical intermezzo, but soon returns to its original slow but compelling character. You can hardly refrain from joining in.
