This is just one of the many compositions that Morley wrote that have military associations - particularly parade-ground references. This one is a lot less jazzy than, for example, Jacko on Parade, and tends towards presenting an image of the imposing leader of the parade against a background of characteristic triplets as drum-rolls. The syncopation is still there, nevertheless.
This is number twelve. Merry Christmas everyone!

Brilliant, simply brilliant !

Merry Christmas to you too Tony.  I hope that you bring us many more delights like this in the  New Year.
