Alford by Robert Jock Heath http://militarymusic.com/blog/2012/01/kenneth-j-alford/comment-page-1/#comment-492 Robert Jock Heath Tue, 17 Jan 2012 22:22:39 +0000 http://militarymusic.com/blog/?p=1329#comment-492 Excellent short history of the great gentleman! As a graduate of the Royal Marine Bandmasters Course I had the privilege of listening to the Royal Marine band playing many of Alfords marches. I have also conducted and recorded many of them as a Musical Director in the Royal Australian Navy. Some of the original manuscripts are, I think, held in the Royal Marine School of Music? His pieces are played occasionally played by Brass Bands, but are more commonly included in the repertoire of Military and Wind Bands. His marches are, I think, far superior in craftsmanship and musicality to Sousa's! Excellent short history of the great gentleman!
