A Kensington Concerto (Eric Ball)

Journey into Freedom (Eric Ball)

Labour and Love was the first ever original composition written for a Brass Band contest. The work was performed back in 1913 at the National Championships held at Crystal Palace. The piece itself is full of glorious lyrical passages interspersed with faster, more technical sections. Sure to be an audience pleaser and a great workout on trombone!
