My Sunday choice is a great arrangement (at least I think so😉) of Hillsong Music’s “The Power of Your Love”.
Year: 2020
Independence Day Concert
A different sort of share today.
Ryan Anthony’s Oboe
Finding a suitable “arrangement” for my Friday quiet time choice took a while – but in the end it just had to be this one. A tune everyone knows played beautifully. I know that Ryan Anthony has featured a couple of times already recently – but there is no doubt this is worth listening to.
More Beatles
Today we stick with an arrangement of a Beatles’ song – but this is very different from yesterday. It features both Brandon Ridenour and Ryan Anthony sharing the trumpet solo part.
All Our Yesterdays
Both my previous “cover versions” this week have taken music and brought it “up to date” – today we go the other way. I have to say that until quite recently I didn’t know that this was “a thing” but it doesn’t take long n YouTube to find many medieval cover versions 😃 It seems that this has gained the name “Bardcore”!
Rock Copland
I’m moving from yesterday’s jazz Bach to today’s rock Copland! A ‘treat’ for 70’s rock fans 😃
Jazz Bach
Yesterday’s post was of our band playing a brass arrangement of a vocal piece of music – something that is very common within Salvation Army music. Of course arrangements, or covers, or – as I have heard them called – recreations of pieces of music are ubiquitous throughout history. This week I will share some of those that I like – bearing in mind that for some nothing will ever surpass the original!!
Norman Bearcroft
There have been many tributes paid to Norman Bearcroft over the last couple of days and this is adding another – not just on my own behalf, but also from Boscombe Band of the Salvation Army. This recording is from their Sanctuary Volume II CD and is an ideal piece of music for a tribute and a farewell.
Scottish Instruments
I’ve shared a couple of scottish singers – tonight it is the turn of the instrumentalists – fiddles, accordion, tin whistle and many more…..
A Song Of Hope
An unplanned break from the Scottish theme today. There is plenty of Scottish music that I could have used for the moment of calm/moment of reflection or whatever my Friday choice should be called. However a couple of days ago the trumpeter, Ryan Anthony, passed away after living with a cancer diagnosis for a number of years. I know that many of the folks that I am connected to on FB have experience of similar, either personally or through family/friends – so this one is especially for all of you.
