I remember playing this as test piece in the Youth Section regionals in the mid-eighties. It's a real challenge with some great moments for the basses.

Stunning!

As a horn player, I am in complete AWE of Mr. Lloyd. I have NEVER heard playing at this level before in my life

Unhinged. Great sound. love it

Is the full brass band arrangement generally available?

A Finnish Brass septet, or torviseitsikko ("seven horns"), also includes an Alto Horn in Eb, so actually 7 Brass players: a true brass septet. Percussion is not obligatory and is indeed not present in this charming work by Sibelius. Unfortunately there are no scores available on IMSLP.

Incroyable 😮

Maravilloso, genial!!! 👏👏👏

Thanks for uploading, have been wanting to listen to this for years

I didn't know about the restoration and 2023 performance. It's a great piece, the brass band arrangement hardly ever gets performed

14:33

Inspired by Terry Riley's "In C" I'm thinking...

Love it. From a French horn player. Such crisp notes from top to bottom. I am in awe.

Frank Lloyd ? Right !

The horn is truly the king of all brass instruments.

Wow! I’ve been waiting years to hear this piece, and it certainly hasn’t disappointed my expectations. Huge thanks for posting this

Amazing! Thank you!

Superb 😮

Refreshing. I applaud any band and conductor willing to take on a challenge like this which is so far from most bands' comfort zones. It makes me wonder how many of our so-called 'top flight' band conductors (and adjudicators) could get anywhere near shaping or judging a top quality performance of this. It requires skills and knowledge that I have rarely seen displayed in my 40 years of banding...

Unglaublich!

How great to hear this..this was a commission for the great West Glamorgan Youth Brass Band, my Band back in the mid 1980's with the late magic Tony Small M.D..Tony was a leading light in Welsh Brass, so many were lucky to have his teaching..❤️x

TERRIFIC PERFORMANCE WAOH

Just lovely.

Want to listen a new work by Judith Bingham on a championship... Maybe for the next EBBC in London?

I would need to hear it live before I believed it... That sounded electronically enhanced... If it was true , it was the best performance I have ever heard

I'm a horn player and this sets a new standard. I could hear the organ parts in the background sorta. Wow. I think you should redo this but add separate tracks to go along with the main track, Then you would have a complete overlapping bass line. Brilliant playing.

Enjoyed that. Great to hear these mostly unheard pieces. Good job.

Those are the most incredible multiphonics ever.

Amazing playing ❤ I'm going to practice 😂

I saw/heard him do this live‼️

Incredible performance

😰

The second movement is one of the most beautifully written - such a gentle but infinitely deep melancholy!

So many superb modal moments - completely worthy of the Great Modal Masters - in this piece. Jacob - woefully neglected and simply not 'heard' in the deepest sense. A rich musical feast indeed. Can we now please have one of our modern top-shelf bands dedicate an album to Jacob's music for brass band? Thanks in advance.

This is the best thing I've ever heard on the horn, it's amazing

Very fine !

Lighter heating Frank Lloyd☠️

amazing. as usual.

Excellent piece of research and presentation of British Brass Band History that gets a lot accross without boring your audience

Exelente Maestro!!!

Met him in 2016 at Aldeburgh, really nice no nonsense chap but knew everything about music.

Thanks so much for posting this info!! An era of intelligence and inspiration!

Alec, How did you get hold of this? Its is an off air recording? I produced this with the RNCM team for the broadcast. I have a copy here at home and it sounds better than this! If everyone agrees, I'd be perfectly happy to post the one I have. It is not a BBC copyright recording, I'll contact David Thornton and Torstein about it.

Hi Alec, do you have the recording of Tippett's Mask of Time fanfare from this same recording and the other Lollipop stuff? Thanks, Ashley

Hi Alec, This is a terriffic channel! I was a teenager in 1986 and remember listening to this concert live on the radio! Do you happen to have a recording of the rest of the PJBE finale concert from BBC radio 3? (I notice you have uploaded the 'similar' Philip Jones memorial concert which includes some of the same music, including 'Pictures from an exhibition' which was a 'musical milestone' for me!) If so, I would love to hear the rest of it! I remember one of the 'surprise' pieces for Philip Jones was a performance of a march from Tippett's 'The Mask of Time' - which I have never been able to find on a recording since! The PJBE lollipops were also great, including the 'extras' added in especially for the occasion. You have other really rare BBC Radio recordings of some of my favourite - but really difficult to find live recordings of - brass band test pieces (especially Frontier! by Michael Ball, and Fusions by Howard Blake). I remember hearing them live on the Radio at the time, and wishing I could find recordings of them. Thanks once again. Ashley👍

Part 3 WAY too fast!!!

A great pictorial montage of a wonderful area.

Beautiful performance! 💓

Thanks for posting this sadly neglected work. The soloist gives a superb, understated performance and lets Orr's score speak for itself. It was a wee trip down memory lane for me, because I played euphonium with Whitburn Band in the 1980s and we recorded it for Bandstand with John Wallace, around 1986 if I remember correctly. For a piece of serial music it is very lyrical and I hope it doesn't remain neglected for much longer.
