Inspired both by the 15th century Flemish Polyphonists and the 19th century musical instrument pioneer, Adolph Sax, the piece is, in the composer’s words, “Modern in style, with contrapuntal techniques and a strong Medieval influence, although the slow movement is romantic in style, reflecting the life and times of the great Belgian instrument maker, Adolph Sax.” Many readers will be familiar with Jan van der Roost’s Albion, which was used as the test-piece for the 2001 National Championships in the Royal Albert Hall, but this work is “very different in style – less aggressive, more spectacular and virtuosic, with every player in the band tested to the full,” according to the composer. The music is published by De Haske. The test-piece for the ‘B’ Section has been announced as Catedrales by the Belgian composer, Bert Apermont, published by Beriato Musica.

The first French horn player to reach the final of the competition, Lauren Reeve-Davies, rather topically chose to play Gilbert Vinter’s Hunter’s Moon in an arrangement by former Black Dyke solo euphonium, Denzil Stephens. This piece is a tour-de-force for the horn, and Lauren gave a performance of real aplomb, which suffered only from the normal difficulties of balance allied to orchestral soloists when accompanied by a brass band. These appeared to have been dispelled, however, as she followed it up with an assured performance of the familiar Rondo from Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 4 to complete her excellent programme.

A review of the literature on TQM and exploratory researchwithin the industry verified the need for researchinto this area. Through the study, the attitudes of individuals within companies are examined in order to establish current trends towards implementation of Total Quality Management. The primary sources of data was derived from the literature search. Phase one of the study involved data collection from 92 construction companies experiencedin Quality Managementor Total Quality Managementimplementation. Exploratory field work was undertaken to determine levels of adaptations and the relevanceand importance given to TQM in current strategicthinking. Data gathering techniques included a postal questionnaire and an analysis of company financial reporting. Analysis of the data led to the developmentof ftirther researchinstruments to analyseand measure TQM andperformance. Six organisationswere subsequentlyselected and assessedinvolving an in depth case study. The principle findings from the case studies were then validated by further survey, which involved a larger representativesample. The researchindicated that TQM is not yet well establishedas an overall philosophy within the constructionindustry in the UK. The leadingorganisations have 3 to 5 years experienceof implementation,and are assessedas low to medium adapters when measuredagainst the EuropeanQuality Award Model. Some evidencewas found to show that the leading organisationsin TQM had achieved improved performanceagainst the industry.

Such businesses make a major contribution to the British economy, yet their archives are not generally well known or understood. These historical records are important sources for a range of academics and other researchers, as well as offering practical benefits to those working within the architectural and construction sectors. The focus of this survey was on collections which remain with their creators, as opposed to having been deposited in archival repositories, and as such the accessibility of these records to researchers varies across the sector.

  • The Works Brass Band – a Historical Directory of the Industrial and Corporate Patronage and Sponsorship of Brass Bands
    The works brass band – a historical directory of the industrial and corporate patronage and sponsorship of brass bands Gavin Holman, January 2020 Preston Corporation Tramways Band, c. 1910 From the earliest days of brass bands in the British Isles, they have been supported at various times and to differing extents by businesses and their owners. In some cases this support has been purely philanthropic, but there was usually a quid pro quo involved where the sponsor received benefits – e.g. advertising, income from band engagements, entertainment for business events, a “worthwhile” pastime for their employees, corporate public relations and brand awareness - who would have heard of John Foster’s Mills outside of the Bradford area if it wasn’t for the Black Dyke Band? One major sponsor and supporter of brass bands, particularly in the second half of the 19th century, was the British Army, through the Volunteer movement, with upwards of 500 bands being associated with the Volunteers at some time – a more accurate estimate of these numbers awaits some further analysis. However, I exclude these bands from this paper, to concentrate on the commercial bodies that supported brass bands. I am also excluding social, civic, religious, educational and political organisations’ sponsorship or support. In some cases it is difficult to determine whether a band, composed of workers from a particular company or industry was supported by the business or not. The “workmen’s band” was often a separate entity, supported by a local trade union or other organisation. For the purposes of this review I will be including them unless there is specific reference to a trade union or other social organisation.
