เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 8 พ.ย. 2016
Internationally renowned as ‘The Voice of the Tenor Horn’, Sheona White has been performing and educating since the 1990’s, expanding the technical limits of the instrument and augmenting the quantity and quality of its repertoire.
🎧 Contest Music - Wilfred Heaton
The work is in three movements. In the two outer ones the constant metamorphosis of material reflects classical procedures. The middle movement in contrast contains no development and is lyrical from beginning to end.
(i) The first movement adheres roughly to sonata form, albeit much condensed. Some of the material is of a fragmentary character, but there is one rather more expansive themes which after being turned upside down, initiates the process of uncoiling the material in approximately the reverse order in which it first appeared.
(ii) The second movement, marked Molto Adagio, opens and closes with a tonally ambiguous dialogue between trombones and cornets, the former moving harmonically, the latter in a single line. Between this miniature prologue and epilogue lies the movement proper, restrained in character and containing no large emotional climaxes, but having continuously unfolding melodic line, which most instruments share at some point. The tonal ambiguity remains unresolved right to the end of the movement.
(iii) The main theme, stated after a long introduction, is pentatonic in character at its first appearance, its opening providing material for most of the movement. The theme occurs four times, each repetition changing its outline and taking it a little higher in pitch. A second theme, or motif, is purely rhythmic and becomes ever more incisive and intense as the movement progresses. The third theme is a broad unison melody played by the whole band. The form is akin to that of the classical Rondo.
This performance is by the Yorkshire Building Society Band, taken from the All England Masters contest in 2000 where the Band were awarded first place.

The YBS Band were lucky to have the support and backing of the Yorkshire Building Society that allowed them to embark on a number of projects that led brass banding down a new avenue.

Bel Canto - Kenneth Downie

Bel Canto, a solo for Eb Tenor Horn and band, was written for Sheona White. As the title suggests the music is very song-like and features soaring melodic lines which exploit the middle and upper registers of the tenor horn. This performance features Sheona with the YBS Band, live as part of the 1998 European Gala Concert in Kerkrade.

A Time For Love (after The Essence of Time) - Peter Graham
I have been listening to bands competing in major contests for decades. This was the best I have ever heard.
Georgous, my Uncle John would have been so pleased by this ❤
Perfect day ❤❤❤
Excuse je ne parle pas anglais mais tu as les meilleurs compilation de classique tu pourrais en faire une avec que des instruments à vent Celle ci m'a fait arriver au larme
WOW
Listening again today the sound of this fine Band in The Unknown is just superb ❤
The sense of ensemble is amazing.
So, my take away from this is: YBS needed a director who was wise enough to pick the right piece, and rehearse with the right dynamics, for the particular venue (Albert Hall) in which the performance was to be judged.
Did the cornets forget their cup mutes?
Perfecte weergave van wat eigenlijk oorlog inhoudt, de grootste waanzin. Eigenlijk mag dit stuk “vrede” genoemd worden
I have a false memory of Pavarotti singing on this track...Anyone else?
Awesome!
Why didn't Tom Jones and Heather Small ever do a duet - perfectly matched.
They did. The duet is on the "Reload" album and it's called "You Need Love Like I Do.".
15:29 I love that euphoniums’ counterpoint to the tenor horns. What a beautiful sound.
Now that's a piece I've not heard since I played it with Point of Ayr in the same contest!
God I love that piece so much. Beaaaaaautiful Tenor horn Melodie 😍😍😍😍😍
Thus reminds me of Saturdays in my friends cafe. God I miss it and her so much 😢
Absolutely fabulous piece! I will play it very soon with an fanfare im part of! It's extremely fun! I especially love Drums of Thunder!
There will never be another band as good as this awesome.
This emotional playing at it's best thank you.
Best band ever by million miles.
given what the subject it is alleged to be about guess was glossed over
とても良い音ですね！唇とマウスピース、楽器の相性が抜群！
HAhahahahahahaah this is so bad. You can tell Lou found this ridiculous. How pompous
94Thankyou Sheona absolutely beautiful My 94 Year old dad a past Tenor Horn Champion said that you are the best he has ever heard and now is practising his tenor horn. Many thanks
Lovely playing
I've probably listened to or watched this performance 100 times! Absolutely sensational!
Just so beautiful and unbelievable playing ! Playing of the highest order and the most gorgeous sound , thank you.
A band playing brilliantly the best band ever.
I bought this on release- so beautiful. And how good is the video? Superb. Thank you, BBC; thank you to whoever posted this❤
Some fine cornet playing.
❤🌈🍀💚👏 👍 😊 🎶🎵🎼🙏🏽🙌🌻
Who is the trumpet (?) Soloist in the last section? I've always wondered wether this is improv or played off the sheet music.
Both of it. There's a written solo for Principal Cornet, but whoever plays it here often improvises over it.
What a beautiful song...about a bloke having a perfect day....whilst off his face on smack. How lovely
What a great performance 👏👏👏😊
No discussion! Derek Bourgeois is one of the great master of brass band repertoire... And what an absolute band was YBS. I feel sad that I born too late, to get a chance to write a piece for you. Of course, there are plenty of wonderful bands today, but I think if this YBS was still playing, he can be able to get new Europeans titles! Thank you so much for this legacy!
you sure nailed the fuck out of that! shame (on Earth) there's not millions of views on this.
Well this failed AI upscaler is a thing of nightmares...
Remind me of train spotting. Bring back begbie
This is in my favourite song folder on TH-cam. 😊
The Tuba Player at the end! 🤯 Amazing Performance!!
AWESOME!!
Sheona For O/C on that day with 88pts and placed 8th position how could that of been ? You guys & gals must of been scratching your heads on that one. It must not of impressed the Major & Co that day. @11.18 Wow only David King would have the balls to do that (have yet to see another conductor do similar), Cocky, confident, arrogant (but I loved it) you could say but he was top dog back then, just Brilliant. The band as a whole, the musicians, the name Yorkshire Building Society there was always bums on seats in every audthorium god i miss the mid to late 90's of the bands dominance.
Absolutely beautiful, from the heart ! Intonation unbelievable. Thank you.
What mouthpiece do you recomend for alto horn?
Absolutely amazing!!!! 🥳
Thankyou for sharing this Sheona. I think this is a band that only existed for a few years but will be remembered for many more. I'm glad the band survived and are going from strength to strength, but the YBS/King combination was something very special and something to savour.
Now Holst. Fabulous.
So I compare this to Wilf Heaton's Contest Music. They're so different. Beethoven vs Monet? But both beautiful. I'm so chilled...
Maybe a golden age...
