Earth, Wind & Fire was formed by jazz drummer Maurice White, whose aim was to mix various music styles to produce a unique sound. Combined with excellent song writing and fine performances this sound made Earth, Wind & Fire one of the most influential soul groups of the seventies. In subsequent decades they experienced varying success but this medley reflects the heyday of this legendary group. In his job as staff arranger with the Royal Marine Band of the Dutch Navy, Peter Kleine Schaars wrote many top-class arrangements. The talent of the musicians in the band made it possible to write in such a way that they closely resembled the original works. Consequently, this medley shines just like the original versions by Earth, Wind & Fire. Four famous songs have been used: In the Stone, Got to Get You into My Life, After the Love Has Gone and September.

Dieses Stück basiert auf dem Motto eines japanischen Musikfestivals der japanischen Streitkrafte: Unsere Leidenschaft soll in unserem Herzen widerhallen. Der Komponist liess sich ausserdem von der eindrucksvollen Küstenlandschaft in Kyushu, wo das Festival stattfand, inspirieren und vom Wunsch, dass die verschiedenen Militarblasorchester der Region engere Bande knüpfen mogen, leiten. Aus diesen Themen entstand dieses ausdruckvolle, dramatische Werk.
