Current Selections

You and the Night and the Music (3.83 MB) - Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz. Not a brass band recording, but the version from which our new arrangement is taken. Recorded by Chanticleer on their CD Lost In The Stars.
Brasiliera from 'Scaramouche' (2.23 MB) - Darius Milhaud arr. Howard Snell. Milhaud originally wrote this for two pianos!! A fun little Latin tune. Recorded by the Britannia Building Society Band (now the Fodens Band) on a compilation CD from the BBC, Brass Spectacular, in the Listen to the Band Collection.
Elsa's Procession to the Minster (6.61 MB) - Richard Wagner arr. Snell. From Act II of the opera Lohengrin, one of the most sublime arrangements out there. Another one to enjoy with the volume way up!! Recorded by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band on the CD Wagner.
Introduction (1.95 MB) - Torstein Aagaard-Nielsen. Recorded by the Yorkshire Building Society Band on their CD Introduction, which was I believe their debut recording under that name (they were previously the Hammonds Sauce Works Band) and under their new conductor at the time, David King.
'Midway' March (4.97 MB) - John Williams arr. Ray Farr. Written for the 1976 WWII epic film Midway, starring Henry Fonda, Charlton Heston, Robert Mitchum, and Hal Holbrook among many others (including both a young Tom Selleck and Erik Estrada in very minor roles). The film plays from time to time on the History Channel or on AMC, so check it out if you get the chance. Recorded by the Foden's Richardson Band on a CD of John Williams' music entitled Epic Themes.

Just for Fun

A Moorside Suite - Gustav Holst. Holst's only composition for brass band, A Moorside Suite was commissioned for the 1928 (UK) National Brass Band Championships, won that year by Black Dyke. Although written almost 20 years after his two suites for military band, there is still a great deal of stylistic similarity with those earlier works. Holst attended the 1928 contest that was the premiere of the suite and was reportedly "very happy" with the performances. This recording is by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band on the CD Brass From The Masters, Vol. 2.
