ah yes, the 4th in the series, however this time i will learn from mistakes and i wont say that SA music wins everytime, because there are some absolute gems in both SA and non-SA libraries!

Favourites?

Pagannini Variations
Resurgam
Shine as the light
The call of the righteous
My strength my tower (great cornet solo in this 1)
Songs in exile
The light of the world (im having this at my funeral)

any thoughts?

This is a brass band website only in the sense we all play in/are associated with them. Sometimes we have other things to talk about though!

We had a thread a few months ago about best pieces of music ( I'm sure someone will give a link). Outside of bands and probably icluding band pieces my favourite music is Pavane by Faure and Barber's Adagio

If you like a piece, you could always arrange it for Brass Band. then select it in this forum!

Diversions on a Bass Theme for me, although why do all his pieces end on a major scale? I think George Lloyd was trying to reassert tonality, and finish his pieces with "use these notes and not any note row rubbish!"
