My father was the YP band leader and songster leader at Belfast Citadel in the early 1950’s. This was his favourite march - especially as he played the “O Canada” section as a French horn solo. It was that experience that made him choose Canada for our new home in the mid 1960-s. I’m thrilled to find this great rendition
In 1963 Swindon Citadel Band toured The Netherlands . During the tour we visited Hilversum Town Hall as we got inside the Town Hall there were a couple who had just got married and before they left we sang this to them .
Hi Pete thank you for your ministry this morning, one of my favourite Psalms for all the reasons you spoke about, I’ve attached a recording of the musical arrangement we used to sing in the Salvation Army, hope you enjoy it, just on another topic are you free next Saturday afternoon I have 2x tickets next to me for the Ipswich game, let me know if you want them for you and Jack?
The best Salvation Army band composition ever written! Every section of the band is featured and the cornet / trombone exchanges are brilliant. Eric Ball was so far ahead of his time. May God be praised!!
Acts 1:8-11 8But ye shall receive power,after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you:and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,and in all Judaea,and in Samaria,and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 9And when JESUS had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a CLOUD received JESUS out of their sight. 10And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as JESUS went up, behold, TWO MEN stood by them in white apparel; 11The two men said:Ye men of Galilee,why stand ye gazing up into heaven?this same JESUS,which is taken up from you into heaven, shall SO COME IN LIKE MANNER(in the same place,and the same CLOUD-Matthew 24:30)as ye have seen JESUS go into heaven. 1Thes.4:16-18 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,with the voice of the archangel,and with the trump of GOD:and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the cloud,to meet the Lord in the air(in the ineffable, indescribable,unspeakable environment of the 3rd heaven)and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words. The Word of GOD is from everlasting to everlasting,the Word is GOD, GOD Himself,self-executing.Great mystery-->Matthew 11:27. Fullness of joy for ever there
my father tried to program this piece with his band. He almost got a revolution 😅. Too modern, too difficult and certainly not Christian enough 😊. I wish he can listen to this recording from heaven. Like a kind of revenge😊. Thank you for sharing!

A rarity. I played it a few times. The band had a few difficulties to perform well some passages 😅. Here the soloist struggles a bit with rhythm 😊. Thanks for sharing!
