Grainger has done many wonderful performances they have done tributes to Percy Grainger and they have done Rule Brittania.

Note: [Ed: Rebecca is just 11 and has been attending GWS concerts with her parents for many years. It's wonderful to see such enthusiasm.]

The Undone Years - Many Thanks

Posted by dkeeffe

Thank you all for Saturday's performance of The Undone Years. Thank you for taking a chance on a new work by a relatively unknown composer.

It was an honour just to be able to sit and listen to one's creation presented so well, with dynamic interplay between soloist, conductor and band. With its story told so clearly, all those hours of work were well-repaid!

It was doubly rewarding to have such a responsive and sizeable audience, well able to appreciate the performance. It bodes well for the presentation of new music.

MP3 Study Files for The Undone Years

Posted by dkeeffe

Hi Players

Here are links to MP3 files of a (pretty decent) computer version of the three movements you play in. Feel free to download/burn etc etc.
For those that care, they are a medium bitrate (192k).

Clicking the links will probably start a player on your computer. To save the files, right-click (windows) or click-and-hold (Mac, I think) and follow the browser's instructions.
