Although some of the videos of the Band have cropped up during my previous blogging I thought that it would be a good idea to bring more of them together in a series of posts. Many of them are, of course, available on the Band’s own website but this will allow me to create the record of these memories alongside my other music posts.

Overcoming Obstacles
I have had a few people asking me to post some more music links – OK, maybe one or two people 
but it is nice that they have been missing my contributions. I have been considering doing so – although certainly not returning to the everyday posts – but waiting for something suitable (and worthwhile) to trigger me to start doing it. Today I found something.
Maundy Thursday Music
Most recent years on Maundy Thursday I would have been listening to our Band play this piece of music. Many of the tracks from our Easter CD were featured this time last year (the videos are all available on the Band website) but this track wasn’t included.
The Joy Of Music From Melk
This evening we have brass and organ music from the rather magnificent Melk Abbey in Austria.
Flight of the Bumblehorn
Something easier to listen to today – and it is a few days since we had a horn player.
Another Taste of the English Renaissance
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.
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.
Another Take on the Same Theme
Yesterday’s choice was (as I am sure many of you already knew!) on a composition of Paganini – a piece of music that seems to have inspired more arrangements and transcriptions than just about anything else I know.
