Given #JohnWilliams has turned 93, I thought I'd share of my favourite tracks that tends not to be at the forefront of people's minds: The #Asteroid Field from #TheEmpireStrikesBack.

[Histoire & Patrimoine Paris 17 @HistoireParis17]

Il y a #100ans, le 4 novembre 1924, meurt à Paris à 79 ans le pianiste et organiste Gabriel Fauré, l’un des plus grands compositeurs français de la fin du 19e et du début du 20e siècles.
Directeur du @CnsmdParis de 1905 à 1920 et considéré comme le maître de la mélodie française, il nous laisse environ 255 œuvres, dont sa fameuse Pavane en fa dièse mineur op 50 : https://t.co/VcuDI9NUHx.
Il vécut à #Paris17 de 1883 à 1911, au 73 avenue Niel puis au 154 boulevard Malesherbes, et depuis 1927 une petite voie porte son nom près de la rue de Lévis.

E lucevan le stelle, arr. cornet & euphonium duet and #brass band

@MusicOfLee Bruckner 8, particularly the last movement (and even more specifically the Finale of it). It envelops you, emotionally, and is relentless with it.

#OTD 175 years ago, #Chopin died. Mainly a composer of solo #piano works, he was a leading figure of the #Romantic period. His works are some of the best known around the #world.

Avaliable @SheetMusicPlus, #Waltz No. 13 for #string or #clarinet #quartet: https://t.co/zwOInZ4o2Y

Composer Frédéric Chopin died on this very day 175 years ago

As requested by Chopin, his sister Ludwika took his heart (which had been removed by his doctor and preserved in alcohol in a vase), back to Poland in 1850

@Komaniecki_R If they don't come off, and you do need to cover them, a bandage could be an option.

[Rob Bushnell @_RobBushnell]

@MusicOfLee Difficult. I offer composers who tend to do well with their brass rather than selecting a moment: Bruckner, Malcolm Arnold, John Williams and Philip Wilby

@Komaniecki_R 🥱 Just add it to the massive pile of sheet music that should not exist 🤐

[Rob Bushnell @_RobBushnell]

@MDGarry @BrookwrightM @SheetMusicPlus @SheetMusicDir @arrangeme @YorkshireImps Sounds good, especially as I normally use one of the last bands I played with as a yard stick for whether it is playable or not 😉

A Fugal Overture by Gustav #Holst, arr. for #brass band

Born 150 years ago #OTD, this work by Holst is an early example of neoclassicism, inspired by J. S. #Bach's counterpoint.

We’re incredibly sad to confirm the passing of the legendary David Graham. The voice Parker, Gordon Tracy, Brains and so many more. David was always a wonderful friend to us here at Anderson Entertainment. We will miss you dearly, David. Our thoughts are with David’s friends and family.

Excerpts from Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured #Night) by #Schoenberg, arr. #brass band

Born #OTD 150 years ago, Schoenberg had a fear of 13 #FridayThe13th. This #Brahms/#Wagner inspired piece reminds me of Eric Ball's Journey into Freedom.
