Programme Notes: 

Drawing upon sources in the Library of Congress the repertoire for our concert comes from a remarkable series published in Boston during the 1860s.  It is well known that during the nineteenth century the dissemination of much music was thanks to wind and brass ensembles performing transcriptions and arrangements of new works to ever greater audiences.  Vocal works by popular Victorian composers such as Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn and many similar composers featured heavily in John F. Stratton's serial publication of works for small brass ensembles of cornets and saxhorns, instruments noted for their similarity in sweetness of timbre to the human voice.
