After initially introducing the theme in a mere 'cloud of sound', the piece, then, starts off in a Cajun/New Orleans groove. All the voices have their solo spots. More and more independent voices join...

This is the most famous movement from the Orchestral Suite No. 3. The famous Canadian Brass quintet version is great only if you have a monster piccolo trumpet player. This is in a much lower key and...
