Jaeger.A piece commonly used at funerals memorial services and other solemn occasions Nimrod is arranged here for Brass Tentet (four Trumpets one Horn four Trombones and one Tuba).Additional parts are included for Piccolo Trumpet Horn in Eb Trombones in treble clef and Eb Bass.

Zhou Long's realisation of this folk-dance indigenous to north-east China has all its kaleidoscopic colour and rhythmic drive with some brilliant licks for each of the instruments.
