Leeds turns out for Black Dyke Festival John Stirzaker reports from Leeds Town Hall Leeds Town Hall was again filled to capacity for last weekend’s annual Black Dyke Festival. The format followed last year’s gala concert, with the Black Dyke Band joined by the Yorkshire Youth Band and a massed finale involving a number of local bands. Prior to the concert there were trombone and cornet symposiums. Black Dyke’s principal cornet, Richard Marshall, and cornet virtuoso, Alan Morrison, led the cornets. The trombone workshop was organised by the British Trombone society under its President and Black Dyke solo trombone, Brett Baker. The hosts had the first half to themselves opening the afternoon with Holst’s Jupiter from the Planets Suite, before playing the set-test in the forthcoming English National Championship, Martin Ellerby’s Elgar Variations. Richard Marshall’s revival of Bellstedt’s Princess Alice was the first featured solo in this part of the concert, while soprano cornet, Paul Duffy, demonstrated why he is regarded as one of the leading exponents of the instrument in his own Dixieland style arrangement of When the Saints. The first half concluded with Ray Farr’s arrangement of Stravinski’s Firebird. The Yorkshire Youth Band, fresh from its successful appearance in Manchester the previous Sunday, was equally accomplished on home soil as it opened the second half with County Palatine (Maurice Johnstone), continuing with Putting on the Ritz. Brett Baker was on hand to play Don Lusher’s DL Blues. The British Trombone Society displayed its day’s efforts with a performance of James McFaddyen’s Enchanted Forest, while the massed band part of the afternoon saw members of Delph, Hebden Bridge, Clifton and Lightcliffe and Kirton bands joining Black Dyke and the Yorkshire Youth Brass Band, to play Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. With over 200 players on stage, the day was a brought to a close with Sir Arthur Sullivan’s The Lost Chord. Preston own-choice tests revealed The British Federation of Brass Bands, organiser of the English National Brass Band Championship, which will take place in Preston’s Guild Hall on Saturday 25 June, has announced the test pieces that the competing bands will perform in the own-choice section of the event. Martin Ellerby’s Elgar Variations will provide the set test for the bands competing to represent England at the 2012 European Championships in Rotterdam, before performing the following works in the afternoon session: Vienna Nights (Philip Wilby) (2), Concerto Grosso (Derek Bourgeois), Titan’s Progress (Hermann Pallhuber), Music of the Spheres (Philip Sparke) (2), Legend of King Alfred (Peter Meechan), …Dove Descending (Philip Wilby), Spiriti (Thomas Doss) and Symphony of Colours (Simon Dobson). The panel of adjudicators will comprise Derek Broadbent, Ian Brownbill, Steve Sykes and Andrew Duncan and the event gets underway at 10.00am, with the own-choice section beginning at 2.00pm. The organisers have announced that Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band has withdrawn from the event on the grounds of lack of funds. A replacement band is expected to be announced shortly.

It is evident that the phrase “out of sight is out of mind” applies to the longest season of the church year, but then Martin Luther did refer that the Holy Spirit, which is the centerpiece of the season of Pentecost, is the “bashful member of the Trinity”, nonetheless, as the Holy Spirit is the ongoing presence of God in the world, it is important that we do not forget about the Spirit. We are not in this life alone; God is with us: The Lutheran church of the Baroque observed three days of Pentecost. Some composers wrote sacred cantatas to be performed in the church services of these days. Johann Sebastian Bach composed several cantatas for days of Pentecost, including Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten ! BWV 172 in 1714 and Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt , BWV 68 in 1725. Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel 2 From Pastor Bruce wrote cantatas such as Werdet voll Geistes (Get full of spirit) in 1737. Mozart composed an antiphon Veni Sancte Spiritus in 1768. Olivier Messiaen composed an organ mass Messe de la Pentecôte in 1949/50.

  • Rhodes Bleachworks Brass Band
    Rhodes Bleachworks Brass Band Gavin Holman – June 2019 This band was probably formed in the mid-1890s. The first known mention is its appearance at a contest at Middleton in April 1897. It was strongly linked to the Bleach and Dye Works at Rhodes, near Middleton. The band’s conductor for most of its life was John H. White. It was disbanded on 9th December 1909. The Bleach Works was Obadiah Ashworth and Co. (bleachers, dyers, finishers, embossers, &c.), Rhodes Bleach and Dye Works, Middleton. It was one of several similar industries in Rhodes and Middleton, part of the larger fabric, weaving, finishing, and garment manufacturing industrial belt in northern Manchester and across to Yorkshire. Obadiah Ashworth founded the company and went into partnership with James W. Jones. Upon the death of Ashworth in 1874, James Jones continued the business as sole owner, but retained the Ashworth name. He was later instrumental in establishing and supporting the Bleachworks Band. In addition to these brief notes, the band’s Treasurer’s Notebook, covering the years 1898 to 1909, is transcribed below. This is followed by a brief sketch of the conductor John White. No known photographs of the band survive, although at least four “formal” photos were taken, as recorded in the Treasurer’s notebook. A typical concert of the band, at St Michael's Flags park, in August 1903, with conductor J.H. White, consisted of: Hymn; March: Silver Trumpets (Viviani); Overture: Poet & Peasant (Suppé); Fantasia: Joan of Arc (Round); Trombone solo: Ora Pro Nobilis (Piccolomini); Selection: Idomeneo (Mozart); Air Varie: Eventide (Rimmer); Chorus: The Heavens are Telling (Haydn).

  • This Month, May, Sunday 10Am Worship at St James Point Lonsdale (June at St George’S Queenscliff)
    THIS MONTH, MAY, SUNDAY 10AM WORSHIP AT ST JAMES POINT LONSDALE (JUNE AT ST GEORGE’S QUEENSCLIFF) Dear people of St George's and St James', A book that I keep coming back to around this “Pentecost” time of year is “The Go-Between God”, first published in 1973 by Bishop John V. Taylor. Some of his words: “...the primary effect of the Pentecost experience was to fuse the individuals of the company into a fellowship which in the same moment was caught up into the life of the risen Lord. In a new awareness of Him and of one another they burst into praise, and the world came running for an explanation. In other words, the gift of the Holy Spirit in the fellowship of the church first enables Christians to “be”. And only as a consequence of that sends them to do and to speak”. I suppose that these days we don't often see people “”running to us for an explanation”” about who we are and what we believe ! But we do need to be alert to welcome and support those (often shy) “searchers” who might , from time to time, ask us tricky questions... or even drift into our church services. • Let us be confident and know that as the Holy Spirit dwells in us we will be given the right words and the right actions appropriate to the occasion. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email if there is anything I can do for you whilst Peter is on leave. Tim Gibson – ph.

  • The Poetry of Brass Bands
    The poetry of brass bands Gavin Holman 28 September 2017 (National Poetry Day) - updated May 2020 Over the years several brass bands have been immortalised in poetry. From those lauding their heroes to the ones which are critical or even insulting. From the earliest days poets have found something in the music of the bands and the people who play in them to inspire their muse. I think it is fair to say that most of the writers would not have made a career out of their works - some are certainly more William McGonagall than William Wordsworth – but nonetheless they are priceless views of the bands and bandsmen. 99 examples of odes to the bands of the past are provided here for your enjoyment.
