The brilliance of Eric Ball is astounding.How can any composer paint a picture of a strugle for freedom so brilliantly that even non musical people would instantly know what it was depicting and at the same time make it so exciting.
I had the privilege of attending the 1967 finals when Journey in Freedom was the test piece and won by Black Dyke. One of the best brass band test pieces ever, in my view
i was with my dad at Albert Hall 1967 age 15 listening to this I am now trying to play this for the NZ b grade test now age 71 what a privilege to try😮 l
Some wonderful color to this band from days gone by. Particularly impressed by the Soprano cornet playing within the ensemble. Oh how I long for that to return.
I can't believe that this brilliant item of brass band music was written in 1967! I was a lad of 16 then. Well done to Black Dyke and brilliant soloists on a magnificent performance of a technically demanding piece of music by a celebrated composer.
Soul inspiring music. Can you imagine the depth of thinking of Eric Ball. I had the honour of playing under his leadership once, and meeting him a few times when I was on the train in London going to work. A Giant in music !!!!!!!!
In the orchestral world you have Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Mahler etc. I will not name all of the BB equivalents of but Eric Ball is there. I can listen to this performance of this classic over and over again.

Benjamin Rapp fulfilling the role of Principle Cornet in this concert in the absence of Roger Webster who'd had an unfortunate accident the day before when he got his cornet caught in the top of his staircase bannister and found himself unconscious at the bottom of the stairs. Happily he recovered from the accident very quickly.
A great test piece by Eric Ball who i played under a few times,a marvellous soprano player are there any better woman soprano players anywhere in the world..
and of course all the talk was of the missing Roger Webster, who earlier that day had decided to fly � unfortunately for him not by Concorde, but by hooking his gig bag around the top of the stairs. His resultant injuries meant he couldn't take part in the proceedings, but a reshuffle from the MD saw Ben Rapp take over on Principal Cornet to impressive effect,
Once upon a time. His 'spirituality' proved to press the confines of the organization. Particularly the practice of 'spiritualism' popular in the 40's in GB.
Tom you are right but it is an unfair comparison to make considering the pool of resources Black Dyke can recruit from to that of the ISB who despite this are still a very fine band.

Holy cow that gal on Soprano really lights the concert hall up in a super exciting way. Bravo!!!
The slow theme must be one of the most beautiful ever written for Brass Band, so emotional
John Doyle.... What an brilliant flugal horn 📯 player...... 👍
Never tire of hearing this great Eric Ball composition. Very well played by Black Dyke.
I am a Patron of the Band and this is just an incredible performance - Eric Ball would have been so proud
This is best I have ever heard this piece played.

Eric Ball - a man far ahead of his time. Absolutely brilliant piece, brilliantly played.
Absolutely superb performance by Richard and this world class ensemble.

Schitterende uitvoering, naar mijn mening de mooiste vertolking tot nu toe die ik heb gehoord van Journey. Briljante compositie van Eric Ball.

Journey Into Freedom. The Salvation Army’s gift to secular Brass Bands. Thankyou. 👆
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Stunning performance!
Great precision for a pretty big group.
Fabulous pedals Matthew leading up to the last section. Beautiful. X
Indeed, Tony, a great disciplinarian as the legendary Derek Jackson before him.
Such a nice piece. A great recording, very clear and balanced!
Heard Cory Band play this at the Albert Hall many years ago. Gave me goosebumps:
. Fabulous piece of music .

Aah ! That answers my question who played principal cornet on the performance . We don't seem to hear of him now sadly .
Thanks. I was wondering because I didn't recognise the principal cornet.
This is the b grade test piece for New Zealand this year, I’m getting nervous
I remember playing this on tenor horn at the West of England area competition in Colston Hall Bristol.
Beautiful sound...
Eric Ball; timeless........... very good begin........... first minute tension......... ♫♪
What an fantastic Soprano Cornet player , amazing !!

Does this lady still play?.

Yes she is still playing Es Cornet
Story , I am wrong !!
@@jajoh6473 What ?.
@@michaelbrammer9086 MIchelle Ibbotson is her name and we don't seem to her of her nowadays , which is a great shame .

This was the Eric Ball Centenary Concert - I had to look it up as I wondered why the ISB was also there.
Thank you. Amazing piece. Love music by Eric Ball. Janet x
Just fantastic.....
A special performance
The sometimes torturous journey toward the goal of ‘inner peace’.
Probably the best comment on this performance . It's not a piece of music but a musical story of life .
Better than the contest-winning performance under Geoffrey Brand!!
Yep, but nowhere near as eloquent as the recording of Dyke / Peter Parkes.
Stunning performance. Fantastic horn group. Is it Arfon Owen on the 2nd horn here?
🥇🥈🥉
Is that Tim Minchin at 4:14?
Bella sinfonia
A great test piece by Eric Ball who i played under a few times,a marvellous soprano player are there any better woman soprano players anywhere in the world..

No comparison between those two bands , Dyke were superb and made the ISB sound like a very low section band ........
Tom you are right but it is an unfair comparison to make considering the pool of resources Black Dyke can recruit from to that of the ISB who despite this are still a very fine band.
The prime reason for the existence of the ISB is the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, not as a contesting band!
