I listen to this performance on here quite often and it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up You dont get many better winning performances than this to WIN A NATIONAL FINAL.👏👏👏👏👏
As a drum corps alumni of the Falcon Cadets from Elizabeth, NJ I can think of nothing as pleasant as hearing a very good brass band playing a delicate piece with almost mystical unity... This is what heaven must sound like without having to die in order to visit...✨👍😊
ive just retired after about 13 years of brass banding (rookie numbers, I know) but I keep coming back to this piece as one of the few test pieces I've ever played that I've actually been fond of. what a marvellous performance and a wonderful piece. It's all those pedal Bbs in the bass trombone that get me. Never too many.
Bloody awesome! Gives me goose pimples every time! Been involved with brass bands since I was conceived and I can say out right this is the greatest piece of music ive ever set my ears upon!
Love the work of Lovatt-Cooper. Brass banding is coming along in the States and it is a joy to have this entirely "new" palette of literature to explore.
It was a real pleasure to be at the RAH in Sep 11 (first time in 35 years) to hear the top section play and what a piece by PLC and what a winning performance. Since finding this video I listen and watch it many times a week whilst working on my PC, it is so uplifting. Brass bands should be heard in more places and not be still tarred with the flat cap and warm beer image any longer. We need more media and radio exposure - Classic FM for a start. I been playing a cornet for over 45 years and wish to state that this performance, including mistakes (there were some) was magical, controlled, playful, powerful and deserved to win on the day. The team work across the band and not forgetting Dave King the conductor is a pleasure to see. More please.
I have this on my favourites list. Absolutely cracking piece. I don't even care about the little fluffs, I quite like that in live music. This was an absolutely epic performance.
The kings speech, if ever a test piece was made for a MD this was it, a G’day sheila let’s throw another shrimp on the Barbee, State of origin RL . One of bandings most memorable moments along with Corys winning performance in 2019 with Titans Progress
I am comfortable with a conductor who beats in time like this guy!! I can't cope with the guys you like to be half a beat ahead all the time! It's confusing and makes me feel insecure! What's that about?!!! I do put this down to my ignorance, of course.
+John Cahill Unless I'm mistaken, that's David King, who was in charge of YBS when they strung together years of victories. He's an Australian, he came and conducted our band one day, and it was remarkable just how secure the piece (Year of the Dragon) seemed to be under his baton. He is a fantastic conductor. Until then, I didn't realise just how much of a difference a world-class conductor can make to a band.
Yes. IU. As a kid I often thought that if the bandmaster dropped dead the band would carry on regardless, unaffected. Later I realised that training and nuance were very important. i think the sense of security that you mention and unity as a band come from the conductor. I was never in a big band or a professional band but there seemed to develop a style of conducting whereby the conductor was never on the beat with the band (or vv). It looked and felt so uncomfortable to me that it was so hard to watch and just enjoy the music. I also found it difficult to listen to brass bands playing very long slow mood pieces that were written for stings and woodwind instruments (no clarinets etc in Salvo bands.) A lot of mood test type pieces seemed to be just like that... teats and trials. I got over a lot of that, but still, brass bands were (for me) 'supposed to be' about pomp, ceremony, parades and marching... and hymns of course. Watching bands these days the thing I appreciate most is the 'teamwork', human harmony, even more than great skill. We were very fortunate to be a small part of that.
John Cahill it really great watching him really getting into the piece, I think he is the visual version of what my mind is doing while listening. Simply amazing...

Would make a cracking Area Test piece or British Open !!!
The standard of musicianship in is truly amazing.
Absolutely stunning playing, and crafted so well by PLC, he never ceases to amaze with his brass works.
Best brass band performance I’ve ever heard, so much musicality!
The euphonium solo by David Thornton at around @10:00 is amazing. So soft, so controlled, so well shaped. Lovely
Could listen to this for hours on repeat ....

David King and the Band are magnificent

Fantastisch om dat allemaal te kunnen luisteren.

09.00 Heaven
The release of tension starting at 8:00 till the end of David his solo is unreal. So, so, so beautiful!!
tout simplement exceptionnel, vous venez en démonstration chez nous dans les hauts de France quand vous voulez....
Who plays the sop? Such an amazing guy, I really love his cadenza/solo!
He is called Steve Devolder, from Belgium
Ah ! I did wonder who it was as well . Thanks for letting us know .
@@michaelrk83 SteveN Devolder! He is an amazing trumpet player!
This is brilliant! Who is playing rep? Some nice contributions.
The girl playing the rep is Laura Sneath (was Hirst) now the Flugel player with Grimethorpe.
This piece has to be my favourite of all time, and this performance is fantastic, just love the sound that Roger Webster makes, thankyou Briggus !!
principal cornet is Stuart Lingard...
the 4th solo cornet is roger webster
Around 08.00 > I am in heaven!
+Anja Abma > ... for at least a couple of minutes. Wow > real music making!
@Anja Abma it sure is a great part there ♫♪
Brass is best, as a Lancastrian, I'm sorry to admit most of them are from Yorkshire.
nice audio..
Elementary
Pretty nice, but the left and right channels are the wrong way round.
❤🌈🍀💚👏 👍 😊 🎶🎵🎼🙏🏽🙌🌻
Great piece, but PLC seems more of a composer for concerts rather than for contests (just my personal opinion).
Disney theme garbage, what happened to the days where contests would commission brave new works from contemporary composers?
Tuning... :/
Lol
Outstanding
fabulous wonderful and amazing and of course the ending is spine tinglling, well done all my heart is still thumping!!!
