Edward Elgar : Severn Suite for brass band Op. 87 (1930)

Listening to This Music Sometimes Makes Me Think of Isnbard Kingdom Brunel The Man Who Made The GWR Come To Life And Built The Box Tunnel. PS Rest in Peace Isnbard Kingdom Brunel I Loved The Work of When You Built The Tunnel at Box and Bridge at Soltash For The GWR Thanks Very Much.

This was The Music Used in a BBC TV Series called God's Wonderful Railway in 1980.

They also used Holst's Moorside Suite, which is on the CD as well.

Out of all the many brass band recordings of the Severn suite for me this is my favorite, Elgar Howarth just gets it right and his team of Grimethorpe are just magnificent, also Decca recorded all the instruments so clearly, this is a band and it's Maestro on Top form

this cd gives a new era of music for brassband from 1928 (before that time there were only transcriptions or arrangements of symphonic/orchetsral works)

Opening Narrative To God's Wonderful Railway Episode 10 one of The Unused Scripts Used for Filming. Andy Grant Had Always Dreamed of Becoming an Engine Driver Now It Is The 1950s and The Summer Holidays Have Come To The GWR of God's Wonderful Railway.

What a shame the extra scripts were never filmed. One of my favourite TV programmes as a child

The Seven Valley Railway Was The Filming Location For God's Wonderful Railway By Aril Rolland's and The BBC. PS Long Live The GWR Of The Great Western Railway.
