Music by the Guards
[DURING the last two or three years the BBC has encouraged band and choir concerts by having special arrangements made of the accompaniments of choruses, so that the two chief amateur music-making forces can join together. They are heard in recordings of works of many types: sacred music, an operatic chorus, some part -songs and programmes by bands alone. As a direct autcome of this combining of bands and choirs, the whole orchestral accompaniments of Handel’s Messiah were made available for brass bands, and choirs and bands have thus: been able for the first time to combine in the performance of a complete major work. One programme in the BBC series Bandstand is devoted entirely to choruses from this oratorio. Bandstand is heard frequently from various NZBS stations, and the next programme, by H.M. Grenadier Guards, conducted by Captain F, J. Harris, will be broadcast by 3YA at 9.22 p.m, on Sunday, February 12. It will include a march, "Aguero" (Franco); overture, "The Black Domino" (Auber); "Camptown Races" (Clive Richardson, arr. W. J. Dawson); "Serenade" (Elgar, arr. Carver); waltzes from Der Rosenkavalier (R. Strauss, arr. Geillet); and march, "Homeward Bound" (Denis Wright).
