Thomas Morley
A sad Pavan for these Distracted Times.

Very appropriate but wasn’t that by Tomkins?

Symphonic Rhapsody for Euphonium & Band
Concerto for Tuba and Band
The Trumpets of the Angels
David Thornton (Euphonium)
Joseph Cook(EEb Tuba)

Symphony
The Music of Edward Gregson Vol.V
Of Distant Memories (Music in the Olden Style)
Trombone Concerto
Rococo Variations
Symphony in Two Movements
Brett Baker(trombone)
Black Dyke Band
Nicholas J Childs.

I’m playing the above CDs today, because with the release of London Brass’s new CD, Music of The Angels, I felt compelled to hear the originals of the two main works featured, Symphony in Two Movements and Music of the Angels. Both sounded very good but I felt the latter was more suited in its original format, the brass band. Didn’t have quite the atmosphere in its brass ensemble version. London Brass’s recording still very much worth a listen though.

Grateful to Spotify's Discover Weekly playlist for alerting me to Cantates pour voix seule - Manuscrits d'Uppsala from Buxtehude and other lesser-known North German composers such as Johann Förtsch and Franz Tunder. Maïlys de Villoutreys (great name, lovely voice) and the instrumental group La Rêveuse.
