>What do people think are the greatest tunes.

I quite like Percy Grainger's use of the now famous Irish air in his
"Irish Tune from County Derry." Also worth mentioning from Grainger is the
original tune in his "Colonial Song." It's quite memorable, more so than
the "County Derry" tune, I think.  I was lucky enough to play both of these
in the high school band a few times and I love them.
