Surprisingly, Herbert Howells only gave us 2 pieces for the movement. Pageantry('34) and Three Figures('60). #greatcomposer

Test pieces that could do with a revival; Volcano-Simpson, John O'Gaunt-Vinter, The Maunsell Forts-McCabe, A London Overture-Sparke
Cloudcatcher Fells proved to be a stern test as the Major quoted "It was only just ready on the day". Dyke won, along with everything in '85
Salute to Youth has been used twice in the championship regionals. 1962+2009. Yes it's still that hard. Used in '85 Belle Vue as well
Revelation is regarded as the most recent turning point in test piece writing. Most modern pieces are based on its structure and style
Martin Ellerby enjoys using tritones. Heard most in Tristan Encounters and Electra
Officially, the first modern piece for band was Salute to Youth by Vinter in 1961(first used 1962). Sections have obvious disonance
Wilby's favourite interval interval is the 4th. Important in Paganini, New Jerusalem and Revelation
Variations for Brass Band written by Vaughan Williams in 1957 was the first test piece to have a theme and variations
Dyke came very close to sacking Major Parkes in 1975. Thought otherwise when they won the finals playing Farnon's Un Vie de Matelot
Absolute music is music that has no meaning or doesn't portray anything. The composer writes what is in his/her head at that time
Phil Sparkes Between the Moon and Mexico actually has nothing to do with the moon or mexico, its just a piece of absolute music
Dyke only came 2nd in the 1982 finals, cause the Major fiddled with the tempo too much in the last mov of Contest Music.
In the 1969 Belle Vue, Gilbert Vinter was adjudicating his own Spectrum. He had to be replaced part way through a contest due to ill health
The first ever set test piece was an arrangement of Orynthia for the 1855 Belle Vue
Variations on a Ninth by Gilbert Vinter has the first ever series of cadenzas
In the 1985 Yorkshire area Phil McCann held the high c# for 15 seconds at piano in Wilf Heatons Contest Music
Played Gilbert Vinter's John O'Gaunt last year. Theres a peasants revolt and the horn have the Bells of St Clements
In Resurgam, the stabs with the silent bars inbetween represents the devil knocking on the doors of death
When Jim Davies was prinicpal cornet of cory He blanked everyone on a contest day when he had his full uniform on.
