Cory Band

Once upon a time, there was a brass band from a very small village in the Rhondda Valley in deepest Wales. The band has a long history stretching back into the 19th Century, and several generations of musicians had strived for many decades to put the band on the map. The name of this band was… The Cory Band.

As Cory Band completes its tenth consecutive year as the World’s number one ranked brass band, this new CD release looks to demonstrate some fantastic examples of the art of great brass playing, as well as presenting music which is inspired by visual art – paintings, pictures and photographs, both classical and modern.

The sight and sound of a brass band wrapped up warm on a street-corner playing carols on a frosty winter’s morning has long been associated with Christmas in many parts of the world.

Within the brass band repertoire there are a number of 'favourites' which have stood the test of time and remain as popular and widely-played as the day they were first performed: Herbert Howells' Pageantry; Eric Ball's Journey Into Freedom; and Philip Wilby's Paganini Variations are all good examples.
