Or you can buy Harrogate's recording of Partita from www.harrogateband.org

We made this a few years ago with Philip Wilby amongst the percussion team, so I suppose you'd be able to hear exactly how the glock part should sound!

I recall taking part in a somewhat off-form performance of Philip Wilby's 'Dance before the Lord' with the NYBB at the RNCM (I think) with Mr Wilby at the Organ. The only Organ cue I had in the piece was missing in the concert...
