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.
Brass
Trombone Choir
This was originally composed as a choral piece. The text is taken from the Psalms
Not (Entirely) Die Federmaus
What I said about tuesday’s choice – that when you “mess about” you first of all have to be proficient and secondly must throw your all into it – is supremely evident in today’s video. Also a second chance to play “spot the tune” as there are quite a few included that are most certainly not part of the original overture to Die Fledermaus.
Mellow Maria
Very different to yesterday – I think this is a great arrangement – and some really lovely horn playing on it as well. (actually it is a great CD as a whole)
Chamber Music Fun
This is a piece of music that I played quite a lot – partly because it was always easier to find just two other players compared to any larger grouping😃
Boscombe Band in Rome – More Pictures
Day 2 of marking the Band’s visit to Rome – this time a small collection of the many photos that were taken during the trip.
Boscombe Band in Rome
The visit of the Band to Rome for the 125th Anniversary celebrations of the Salvation Army’s work in Italy was a recent highlight. Being invited to accompany the General for this weekend was, of course, a great honour and it was great to join with the Italian salvationists.
More Italian Music on Brass
Sticking with Italian music today. An arrangement for brass of Respighi’s Pines of Rome. It is played by an all star group that was brought together specifically for the occasion.
Back To Brass
Like last week the “big choice” this Monday is a little different – not one very long piece of music but rather a collection of short ones – from the video title I have linked to the album playlist so you can listen to as few or as many that you want to.
More Bach and Brass
As usual something ‘easy’ for Friday – a very well known piece of Bach from a great CD from Empire Brass
