From yesterday’s european style we travel across the pond to the Deep South and some New Orleans style🙂
Year: 2020
A Setting of the Mass
Yesterday’s march choice was, of course, very typical of the Salvation Army music that I grew up with and which has been a constant accompaniment to my life.
From YP Band Days
Some of you may have seen this during the week – it is a march that I played many time in Govan YP Band and elsewhere. Brought back many memories – and is an excellent choice for my Sunday music.
A Less Well Known American March
This LP was a much-played one when I first bought it (many years ago). It has a great selection of American marches – some well known others less so.
A Composer Who Deserves To Be Better Known
Most of the music that I am sharing has been in my head for a long time – however that does not stop me finding plenty that I haven’t come across before and today’s peaceful selection falls in to that category.
Two Heads Better Than One
Continuing this week’s somewhat eclectic mix here is something that I played this week – 49 years ago! Unusually it is composed by two people rather than one and is perhaps something that you may not have heard before.
As Close To Heaven As You Can Get
Its not Friday – but it is a reflective piece of music. One of the comments on this video says “as close to heaven as you can get without actually going there” – which sort of sums it up.
Marathon
You will all be familiar with FB memories and today I had one from 35 years ago – yes, somewhat pre-facebook – and that has inspired my music choice. Those of you who are runners – and many who are not – will immediately make the connection.
Missing Trumpets
The “full work” this Monday is again not too long. None of the symphonies of Schumann have featured in my choices so far – its time to change that.
Trombone Choir
This was originally composed as a choral piece. The text is taken from the Psalms
