Power and the Passion - Hamilton City Brass Senior Band performance




On the 20th of October 2019 Hamilton City Brass A Grade band put on a performance to remember. Led by the inspirational Musical Director Glenn Richards, the band wowed the audience with a variety of entertaining pieces including:


  • Singalong tunes from popular Disney Films such as "A Friend like me" from Aladdin, and "Let it Go" (arranged by Philip Harper) from the Frozen movie. 

  • Some toe tapping dancers on the big screen frolicked while the band played "Sing Sing Sing." 

  • The Hamilton City Auxiliary Band's MD Te Reo Hughes played a beautiful rendition of "A Time for Peace" by Peter Graham.
  • A solo by Todd Smith on Soprano gave an outstanding performance of Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney, (arrangement by Ray Farr)
  • A beautiful duet played by Emma Redpath and Mason Elliott of I'll Not Turn Back by Ivor Bosnia. 

  • A solo performance by Ross McAdam was delightful as he played Harlequin by Phillip Sparke.
  • John Williams Epic Themes by Steve Sykes this was written as a tribute to John Williams (the composer of many of Stephen Spielberg's films)
  • The relaxing Lux Arumque by Eric Whitacre 
  • Vitae Aeternum by Paul Lovette Cooper 
  • Simoraine by Clive Barraclough
  • Harlequine by Phillip Sparke
  • Festive Overture by Dmitri Shostakovic (arranged by Peter Kitson)
