Resurgam - Eric Ball

[@markelvinstudio]

I remember listening to this as an 8yr old Cornet player.... such a powerful piece never leaves you and 40+ years later, it still brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for keeping this music alive

[@mikeperkins15]

I played this under my hero, D. Johnson in St Kevern Band. Derek conducted from the soul, and this piece was written from the soul for the soul and played by the Salvation Army it couldn't be more perfect. God bless Derek and the Army

[@petercarrett7718]

Although written for brass band competitions this beautiful piece belongs to Salvation Army bands. As I believe Eric Ball once said when the ISB played it. “It had come home”. A beautiful performance. This piece of music brought me to the foot of the cross allowing the Holy Spirit to do his work of redemption. Thank you for recording this work.

a peaceful oasis in these hectic time, thanks!

SIMPLY HEAVENLY BEAUTIFUL

Peter, I realize you posted your comment at least a year ago, but I just read it. I was privileged to be in the Regent Hall when the ISB first played this, after SA publication. I was also seated in the same row as Eric Ball, who was several seats to my left. It was a moment never to be forgotten, to see the tears streaming down his cheeks and the immense impact of the music on everyone there. That was the scene you recalled above. God Bless.

This is just such a beautiful piece of spiritual music. It was my late fathers favourite piece of band music and whilst I have listened to it many times, both live and via other media, I have never heard it played so precisely as this rendition. The conductor was in full control and the band responded accordingly. Timing was spot on and at no point did I think it was running away. All sections played their part and it would be unfair to pick any out. Simply the best that I have ever heard and I seriously doubt that it could be bettered. Thank you so much and God Bless you all!

One Eric Ball’s best. Nicely played by NYSB and one of the best readings I’ve heard.

[@TheZacman2]

I loved the beautiful solo moments by Brindley.

[@toreg.nyhammer6328]

This was an outstanding performance. Everyone who has played this piece, know how difficult it is to make it sound effortless to play it. New York Staff Band has a lovely sound here, and the soloists plays beautiful. Credit to the conductor, who has done a really great job with the band 🎼🎵🎶🎺😊

[@georgemelitsis2607]

Wow. Can really hear all the detail. Thanks

[@johanrasberg6566]

Enjoyed this very much, great interpretation and feeling of God’s presence in this fantastic piece! Blessings!

[@barryhill363]

My first contest test piece with Crookhall band 1971 which we won, well played gentleman.

[@Resurgam-gm2fr]

This is music to my heart and Soul. Thank you for including my favourite Brass Work. I was indeed moved by the playing. Geoff Australia

[@tomgei]

Absolutely beatuiful. Greetings from an ex SA 1.st cornetist ❤️🇳🇴

[@stevehvaughn]

Wow! So many great moments, but the delicacy and warmth at the very end was really special. Fantastic!

[@doecheng5148]

Magnificent. Reminded me of playing this aged 14. Beautifully played.

[@snige1842]

My father, Alan Smith, was principal cornet with Munn & Felton. This was my favourite music he played. He personally preferred Tournament for Brass (more technical). Both composed by Eric Ball

[@gilliancooper7160]

Hauntingly Beautiful. Superb, Upliftingly heavenly as it is . Gives me brasstastic delight. Thank you New York Staff Band . Cheers from gill Noble Cooper Hawk Green Brass Band UK

[@steffenmrsk4720]

I love how your sound is distinctively different from the British bands. I love both the British sound and vib, and your way of playing band, and I enjoyed this immensely. 😊

[@railtonbueya4685]

What a performance ! Regards from Kinshasa DRC 👏👏👏

[@pattomuso]

Fine performance of a beautiful and moving work!

[@stancharmainewebster7193]

A favorite. Great recording! Every part can be heard (love the basses at 9m30sec) Inspirational

[@diz1350]

Aaron's solo is so wonderful it makes me cry. It's the best!

[@geet9165]

Aaron on top form...but sublime reading and phrasing from everyone. Proud to to an Army bands man.

[@zomuana4260]

NYSB seem to me to be playing better than for quite some time even with reduced personnel.This was a fine interpretation !

[@chrisclaydon1474]

Thank you for this lovely rendition and God bless you all

[@johndanks9140]

Superb sound,wonderful playing.eric ball at his most salvasionist Christian, gentleman.ability.

[@chrislarsen79]

Thank you SO much for this post. I had often wondered how the NYSB would interpret it. So clear... The recording is good, the feeling, and dynamics, and gaps, and pauses. Just great. Kudos to the dedication of all of you to produce this piece so well. Cheers

[@blackpoolram]

Beautifully played - even more so considering the "covid" spacing!

[@drjohnn.sutherland3455]

Just sublime. Thank you.

[@audioin9105]

Good note on the trombone there

[@finnbasse]

Super playing

[@sallyhowling2189]

Magnificent.

[@TheSproutarian]

Liking this interpretation

[@thatguyoverthere5788]

3rd cornet here, this piece drives me mad in rehearsal, very complex, difficult and I’m constantly getting lost.

[@uzeuze12]

Coronaopfer mit Abstand aber Super gespielt❤❤💪🫶👍💙

[@simonwill70]

Was the decision to play the bass drum part on timpani, a musical one or based on reduced players? What pitch was used for the timpani ? Thanks in advance. Wonderful performance !

[@hadarf]

8:51 audition reference

[@paulblichmann2791]

@2:20 I would like to hear this part FULL VOLUME. Right on the cornet chord. No decrescendo. Theres time to lighten it up and build it back so it wouldn't throw the piece off.

[@robertbyers3327]

This is a superb performance !!!! Great interpretation and fantastic musicianship !!! Perfect intonation !!! I have always enjoyed this composition :-) but the first six notes have driven me crazy for many years - it reminds me of a very old tune that I haven't heard in ~50 years, but I cannot place the name of it (any suggestions?)

[@Choppythebrassking]

To me it sounds like the first 6 notes of the setting of "The Lord is my Shepherd" by Brian Boniwell

[@markelvinstudio]

@@Choppythebrassking Perhaps Brian was influenced or inspired by Eric Ball's 1950's composition. Either way, two great pieces

[@MyGraeme1]

That's the one....and if you cannot count don't join in 😅

[@pipmccann7734]

Nice to see a good old fashioned " men only " band

[@jodayl]

Really?

[@pipmccann7734]

@@jodayl really !

[@IvoTichelaar]

A men only band is not a Salvation Army tradition.

[@avpmobi]

Anyway it isn't a men only band.
