Jules Vern's popular 1873 adventure novel Around the World in Eighty Days has inspired countless readers as well as two motion pictures. The first of these produced by Michael Todd and released in 1956 featured a score by Victor Young that would earn him his sole Oscar Award (awarded posthumously in 1957) for best motion picture score. This arrangement for concert band by Alfred Reed captures the magical essense of Young's original score. Reed's singular talent for band writing would lead to engagements as staff composer for NBC and ABC television from 1948-1953.

Composed in the summer of 1984 Yorkshire Ballad was premiered at the Kansas Bandmasters Association Convention by Claude T. Smith and the Kansan Intercollegiate Band. Since its publication it has become one of the composer'smost popular works and has been arranged for a variety of ensembles. The composer writes “I composed this little piece so that younger players would have the opportunity to play a piece that is more or less in the style of(Grainger's) Irish Tune from County Derry.”

Jeg har også i dette stykke forsøgt at introducere stærke følelsesmæssige udtryk ved brug af instrumentale farver og tonale virkemidler. Titlen Hush er forbundet med et slags ”indre digt” jeg har haft i tankerne medens jeg komponerede. Da jeg jo ikke er digter i ord er det ufuldstændigt og utilstrækkeligt i sin form men derfor alligevel meget godt beskrivende for stykkets væsen. Det lyder nogenlunde sådan her i mit hoved:Hush little heart- hush.!!was time running too fast or did the hours sometimesseem long? Were your beats too many or were they too few in the end?Hush little heart- hushdid you see too little or did you sometimes see too much? was life too small or was it sometimes larger than life?was your thirst quenched or did you end up drained?hush hush little heart- hush!! Don't be afraid maybe you knew all the time:that one day you would have to be still-or maybe you didn't?Is that why you were beating so fast?hush hush little heart-hush - be comforted 'cause even as you feel so small Your very existence is strange and beautiful - so hush hush be comforted be still my beating heart.

'Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune' not only is the first masterpiece of young Achille-Claude Debussy but can also be regarded as one of the most important starting points of modern music. One can already imagine some characteristic and colourful instrumental sounds which he would use in his later works.
