Clarence Adoo's World of Brass
This veritable cornucopia of popular, upbeat brass music makes almost
an hour's excellent listening pleasure for anyone interested in brass music,
whatever the genre.
The mix represents Clarence experience in playing orchestral trumpet and his roots in Salvation Army brass bands on the cornet. Clarence invites you to take in classical pieces such as Khachaturian's energetic Sabre Dance or the haunting Andante from Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony. Or from Salvation Army repertoire there's Erik Leidzen's joyful O Happy Day to Joy Web's thoughtful Share My Yoke.
The mix of performers includes brass ensembles, orchestral brass sections and the famous Black Dyke Band. Soloists include Dudley Bright, Paul Archibald and James Watson.
As the first CD to have been created especially for Clarence, it has great sentimental value. It was put together by the late orchestral tuba player Paul Smith, who was able to persuade musicians to per from free and obtain support from other organisations to minimise the cost so that Clarence would benefit greatly from this effort.
Price: £10 + P&P
The full price goes to the trust. Postage and packing varies according to number of copies and destination.

Clarence Adoo Brass Band at Boscombe
Recorded live at Boscombe Salvation Army June 2006
Listen to some of the 'greats' of Salvation Army music performed by a composite, but exceptionally competent band; the personnel list is very impressive. International orchestral and brass band conductor, Bramwell Tovey is a supporter of Clarence and he takes up the baton for this recording. Aficionados of Salvation Army music will need no introduction to some of the featured composers: William Himes, James Curnow, Trevor Davis, Norman Bearcroft, Leslie Condon. This is Salvation Army brass music at its best.
As a retired Salvation Army bandmaster, Clarence will be familiar not only with the players, but also the music presented on this CD. He can't play an instrument now, but he does appear on this CD, voicing a prayer during the music of the second track. Other delights on this CD are guest appearance from the junior musicians at Boscombe—the Young People's Band and Singing Company—who show that there are firm foundations for the continuation of Salvation Army music in that part of Dorset.
The Clarence Adoo Brass Band itself comes together every three years or so to perform a concert to raise money for The Clarence Adoo Trust. Now you have the chance to hear this great band again and again. For this, their fourth concert, they decided to create a CD to extend the music of the band to a wider audience, but more importantly to create a new revenue stream for the trust. The producer is Alvin Allison, a prominent Salvation Army musician based in the south of England, so you know this is a quality production.
