I was just reading Nick Magnus' review of the M-Tron version in Sound on Sound. Regarding the GC3 Brass, he says:

"...and the jubilantly triumphant GC3 Brass (unison saxes/trombones split with trumpets in the top range, if I'm not mistaken)".

It's definitely a split, but my understanding is that both sections are just 3 trombones; no saxes and no trumpets (although the upper register sounds to me like there are trumpets). Can you clarify, Martin?

He also says this about the String Section:

"...the String Section is composed of violins, viola and cello as opposed to just violins and cello". True?

From Streetly, if I recall, you can have it with or without viola.

Frank, there's a version minus the cello:

I imagine it would be easy enough for them to layer it any way you want, though.
