The period between the two World Wars was one of the most productive for the composition of music for brass band. Elgar, Holst, Vaughan Williams, Howells, Bliss, and Ireland all added their voices to the repertoire. This album is comprised of brass band pieces which were written to pay tribute to the loss of young life during the wars. The album is bookended by works from Benjamin Britten, with the works between receiving their first recorded performances.
