Cory A Brussels Requiem British Open 2018 Winning Performance

Cory A Brussels Requiem (British open 2018 winning performance)

[@thomashall4683]

And performances like this are why I really miss brass band contests during this pandemic 😢

[@timschers6134]

Same, we couldn't do the Swiss Championships and we can't have rehearsals with more than 5 people that's sad

[@cameronlaird2489]

Utterly stunning. The 'grace' was just spine chillingly good! Well done Cory Band

[@Gingercornet]

Bravo to Philip Harper and the band for topping off what was a memorable day at The Open with this faultless stupendous effort. The cherry on the cake of my day.....

[@amasumireki0093]

吹奏楽コンクールでもこんな少人数でこんなに素晴らしい演奏ができれば確実に全国大会で金賞ですね。

[@xSlqme]

translation: Even in a brass band competition, if you can perform so wonderfully with such a small number of people, it will definitely be a gold medal at the national competition.

[@lalalalelele1189]

Great band, great playing, great hall -> Yes! But really a great piece? I don't think so. But even if the piece is not great it's not a reason to give this a thumbs down considering the effort of everyone involved.

[@thissignupisretarded]

Thanks for posting these. It's like a different piece in Cory's hands.

[@stappnes]

Well, it's a good performance. However It doesn't sound very different from the other top bands. Soloists did well, but could have done better - didn't win no prizes - did they?

[@thissignupisretarded]

I find it sounds quite different from the other 2 performances I have heard.

[@MowerMan]

Onkel Stappnes They won a great big shield!

[@thecoryband1884]

Yes we did. A very big shield.

Please explain: the contest is sold out, Cory is No 1 in the world band ranking, and yet there are dozens of empty seats?! Where are these people? Having lunch?

Probably, or using the facilities. Would you fancy listening to the same piece being played over and over again for hours on end?

[@catherinewilson3880]

@@Threepi80 well, the empty seats could belong to the Cory players, the previous band, and the next band on who will be busy in registration, and there will always be people who don't turn up, or decide that they dont want to listen to umpteen performances of a piece they dont like.

[@dissilymordentroge5818]

Intersting enough composition but why is it termed ‘Requiem’?

[@user-uw3uf7xo6h]

"The composition reflects on the tragic circumstances that arose from the series of terrorist attacks in the Belgian capital on March 12th 2016 that left 32 people dead and over 300 injured. However, in light of similar attacks in the UK, Europe and around the world since this time, the work also acts as a prescient touchstone on more immediate tragedies."

[@codaues]

Someone pointed to 16:50. Somber and delicious sounds from the bottom of the band, we shall rise again!

[@MowerMan]

2.22 though!

[@stappnes]

Cornets and perc not together!!!

[@stappnes]

Perc a touch to late for my taste.

[@stappnes]

But quite good, having in mind that most of them are amateurs (that's what I'm told...)

[@georgearthur3027]

Basically.....as a percussionist, what I think happened was that the percussionist playing the hi-hat part didn't put his foot down on the peddle so the initial sound of the hi-hat was trashy rather than closed and more articulated.

[@Bongo239]

George Arthur you are exactly right. The hi hat clutch was very loose though and I had to press the pedal hard down as hard as could after the first entry when I realised and tighten later in the performance when I had chance. I am the guy playing it on the video. We don’t get chance to check every bit and bolt out in the short amount of time we get to set up unfortunately.

It happens. I'm sat the the left of the black light hanging down, literally the first person you see at the top. It was an unbelievable performance. Splits happen, but honestly in the hall and with the rest of performance, it made no difference. I played for Flowers that day on top Trom.

[@Tocsin-Bang]

Love the band, but the "music" is truly dreadful. Sounds like someone on a bad drug trip. Only managed a few minutes, hoping it would get better, it didn't.

[@martingilligan]

Technically brilliant, but what an awful piece of music. A cocofony of musical notes rammed together does not make something pleasant to listen to.

[@Dorgannn]

I have found it incredibly excited and musical! Each has their own tastes

[@normanstewart3269]

Oh dear....it's cacophony

[@Tiemo2000]

Martin G ever noticed that throughout the whole piece, the song Au claire de la Lune is presented?? It’s brilliant!!

[@thomashall4683]

Seriously, I’ve never heard a better piece in my life

[@johannesstoll5896]

there are pieces for brass band that are really awful and sort of cacophonious ... this isn't at all!
