Today it is back to the Renaissance – a march played on brass, but, of course, originally written for keyboard! However, this type of music works really well with a small brass group – sounds good and fun to play.
Moonlight Unlike Any Other
Now – using much more “up to date” technology – here is a version of the Moonlight Sonata – unlike any other version I have heard.
Primitive Electronic Music
Tonight’s focus is technology – which is perhaps a bit surprising given that I have been sharing music videos!
Across to the Wild West
The Glasgow Schools summer camps in July finished with a concert in the town where the camp took place (or in some cases, like the 1st Orchestra, in a town nearby – Dunoon) that was repeated in Glasgow during the autumn. This meant that those who had been in their final year at school sometimes missed out on the repeat concert – having gone on to University or whatever.
On a Welsh Day
For St David’s day (can’t find any daffodil or leek emojis!! 😃)
Gospel Music at Last
I was planning on something else for today (rather different from this choice 😂) and then this popped up on my FB feed (thanks Duncan Hopkins) and it seemed like an excellent choice for today.

Shostavovich on Brass
This is a fun piece of music that I enjoyed playing both in its original form and with the Band. This is a new arrangement (or new to me at least) – and some really good playing.
It’s That Paganini Theme Again
One composer that I thoroughly enjoyed playing and listening to – and who has been a bit under-represented in my shares – is Rachmaninoff.
