March - Victors
Acclaimed - MF311 - Rosehill Band Assurance Society |
| |
Best recording I heard of this
march was by the ISB on a CD called ‘Windows Of The World’, an
absolute cracking performance |
|
2 |
Tuba Solo - Celestial
Morn - Leslie Condon - LRZ4002 - An Evening At The Citadel |
| |
One of the best Solos ever
written for Tuba and having the composer himself perform under
the legendary baton of Col Adams. You are near perfection. |
|
3 |
Meditation - SXLP50015 -
The Light of the World - The International Staff Band of the
Salvation Army |
| |
This was the first recording I
ever heard of this title. It just goes to prove that Dean Goffin
was nearly unbeatable when it came to writing timeless
meditations and this is one of the best ones in the Army
repertoire. |

Festival Arrangement - The
Call of the Righteous - SLRZ4015 - International Staff Band -
The 75th Anniversary of the International Staff Band |
| |
A groundbreaking piece of
music and full of colour and texture. Always sends a shiver down
my spine listening to it! |
|
5 |
Selection - Army Of The
Brave - BAB3507 Soldier Of Christ - A Tribute to George
Marshall- International Staff Band of the Salvation Army -
|
| |
Probably one of the first
non-marches by Marshall I listened to but yet again a brilliant
piece that has not lost it’s punch over the years! |
|

March -
Redcliffe - MF225 (G21797) -Massed Bands incl International
Staff Band, Publishing & Supplies Band & Men's Social
Headquarters Band |
| |
Just one of those classic
marches it’s good to listen to! |
|

Selection - Road to Emmaus
- CB201 - Eine Kleine Musik - Camberwell Citadel Band of the
Salvation Army |
| |
I heard this piece by accident
and love the way Goffin uses the instruments to take us
musically on the road. An essential listen during Easter. |

March - Star Lake -
SLRZ4005 - The International Staff Band of the Salvation Army |
| |
This was one of the first
marches I ever played in the senior band in my home corps and
scared me stiff (I was on bass drum at the time) and it has
remained my No.1 favourite ever since. Want it played IN FULL at
my funeral. |
