I'll start off with Ralph Vaughn Williams' "A Lark Ascending:"


And, "Fantasia on Greensleeves," also by "V. W."


Enjoy!!!!!

Sir William Walton, "Crown Imperial," performed by the Eastman Wind Ensemble of the Eastman Conservatory of Music in New York, U. S. A., recorded in about 1956, Frederick Fennel conducting. I performed under Dr. Fennel when I was in high school and actually chatted with him. He was a very witty and congenial man and we developed a friendship that lasted for awhile, Christmas cards, etc. He even kept up with me and I with him when I went into medicine instead of music.


Enjoy!!

Trumpet players, you don't hold a candle to this beautiful White Woman who plays a valveless trumpet, performing works by Henry Purcell and Handel. The video shows the recording session:


Alison Balsom is also from England. Read about her here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Balsom

This recording opens with "Fanfare Ablassen" by German composer Gottfried Reich and the spelling is correct. Cf:
Quote:
Abblasen (Fanfare in C)

However, the next selection is "The Prince of Denmark's March" by Jeremiah Clarke:


The Canadian Brass is now and has been always an all male quintet. I guess someone didn't like a beautiful blonde woman playing virtuoso valveless trumpet selections.
