May your music always be in style
Posted on
December 4, 2011
The Lodi Community Band's annual Christmas Concert was a
wonderful lesson in musical styles. They played jazz, orchestral,
pop and traditional hymns, just to name a few.
Our local band shared the stage with the Joyous Brass ensemble
of Sacramento, which plays a style I thought I hadn't heard before
— British brass band. It turns out that if you've ever heard a
Salvation Army brass band, you've heard the British brass band
style.
There's a rich and uplifting beauty to the sound and it's still
very popular with the British even today. Here's a
link to a short Wikipedia article about British brass bands or
"silver bands" as they are sometimes called.
As a delighted audience picked up their coats and hats to head
out into the nippy afternoon, announcer Ron Rader's closed with a
parting blessing that I thought profound:
"May your favorite music always be in style."
Thanks, Ron. That's a wonderful wish for any season.
