Over recent times I have become even more aware of how much I don’t know – there are lots of things that I have learned about. To quote just one – until this week I had no prior knowledge of “Black Wall Street” and what happened there 99 years ago.
George McConnell
Denmark, Sweden and Norway
Nine years ago Boscombe Band of the Salvation Army had just completed a tour of Scandinavia visiting Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
Perchance To Dream
Sorry if anyone has been waiting for my moment of calm today – its a bit late… but better late than never.
Further South
Yet another Overture, by yet another composer I haven’t previously mentioned and this time played by what is now my local professional orchestra.
Ruy Blas
Another overture by another composer who has been conspicuously absent from my posts.
Gaudeamus Igitur
One composer conspicuous by his absence from my posts so far is Johannes Brahms – surprising as, again, his horn parts are usually good. So we’ll correct that omission with this one – and it includes a score so that you can practice your conducting as well 😁
Hunting Music (With Horns Of Course)
Back to “music I have played” (usually with a good horn part 😁)
For The Greater Glory Of God
A very large percentage of the 3472 Sundays that I’ve been around for have been spent worshiping in some form or other at the Salvation Army. In that time, of course, the form of worship has changed quite a bit – but it is still very much of the same tradition.
Another University Group
Started the a capella week with the King’s Singers originating from King’s College in Cambridge and we end it with a group out of Indiana University.
Another Peaceful Offering
Still on the a capella theme this one has to be one of my favourite recordings and it will certainly fit the bill for today’s “moment of peace”
