John Ireland : A Downland Suite for brass band (1932)

[@maxmerry8470]

Wonderful suite! It's interesting to play alongside the arrangement for strings. The Rondo seems, somehow, more powerful in the brass version. I really like the cover painting......

Second movement was a huge step up for brass band music.

Listening to this for the first time I notice a motif from the music for The Overlanders at 2:54. I see that the conductor is James Stobart, a horn player with the HR Sinfonioeorhester (Franffurt Radio SO).

Played Elergy last night at Band rehearsal. A very emotional stand out piece as part of a great composition
