Without doubt ! A few months ago I left a comment saying ' I wonder what the Grimey lads would have to say to the photographer at the start of their performance ' ? But I think it was deleted as possibly causing offence ha ha !! I will keep my eye out for this comment an see how long it lasts . Amazing performance indeed , maybe the greatest of all time ?

The New Jerusalem is a work for brass band by the British composer Philip Wilby. It was commissioned by the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain, and first performed by them at City Hall, Salisbury in April 1990. Listen to the full, uninterrupted composition here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5m3e4KljqqdepI

Why oh why isn't this piece used more often? It is, in my opinion, Philip Wilby's best work for band, yet bands keep trotting out the same old pieces year in year out.

Apocalyptic Poem Revelation 6 The red, black and pale horses ride with thunder... Thunderous clouds of hail and snow Bringing cold wherever they go Reaching to lands far and wide Going to affect many new brides Not what they had planned for their wedding days Psychopathic games being played Games of hunger, death and thrones Ice reaching inside, inside to their bones Reaching the marrow, harrowing thoughts Causing divisions of all sorts Dichotomies of mind Tipping the scales away from man being kind. Tipping to fractions of slated grey Slavery to states of being not gay Slavery to hunger, thirst and no day Slavery to making no hay. Slavery riding into the day Galloping our freedoms away Causing our blood to rage like the sea Burning as an ember tree Causing the charcoal to burn somewhere new Making potash, a chance to renew Time to release the pure white horse Jousting with the paler horse Knocking him far off course With a new form of discourse The red horse cannot fail to stumble Causing all the greed to crumble Causing the black horse to turn his back And turn around and head right back Into the darkness, the density. Time to bring out the city of Gold That we have been waiting since times of old Galloping white horses bringing the food To avoid those negative moods Making fields of darkness white like snow Placing footprints showing which way to go. From Parousia, Love's Light by Francess. I use 'gay' as in happy. 'Reaching the marrow harrowing thoughts causing divisions of all sorts' = cancer and other blood diseases from stress. 'Negative moods' depression amd mental health problems. Jesus Christ was born To stable our autonomic stress response by upholding moral and kind Love. I understand the white horse as Jesus returning with the sword of His spirit as judgement. Jesus Christ is returning quickly, come to the reasoning of the healing consciousness of New Jerusalem, The Holy City, Zion. The stones will cry out, this is the cry I hear #Loveisnotacortisol 🕊💖🕊
