June 5, 201015 yr I was watching an episode of the old documentary series "World At War" a few days ago, and during a montage depicting the British preparations for war prior to the Blitz, the background music consisted of a truly marvelous arrangement of Chopin's "Military" Polonaise as a march for military band! Does anyone (particularly you Brits) know of this arrangement - have you heard it, seen it? - and who might have done it so masterfully and imaginatively? It worked marvelously well!

June 14, 201015 yr Author Wow! It's on YouTube: The polonaise-to-march arrangement starts at about 8:20 into the clip. This is what I was trying to emulate.
