Sunday Bandstand 17 November 2019
George William Hespe, born in London 1900, served in the Army as bandboy and bandmaster between 1914 and 1933.. He then turned his hand to conducting brass bands, including the Sheffield Police Band and briefly Grimethorpe. For a time played tuba in the BBC Northern and Hallé orchestras.
His compositions include the marches King O'the Clouds, Lone Pilot, Kinderscout, Atlantic Patrol and Men of Steel, the trombone solo Melodie et Caprice (sometimes anglicised to Melody and Caprice), a Welsh Fantasy, no fewer than eight suites for military band and bagpipes and most notably, the suite The Three Musketeers, adopted as the test piece for the British Open Championships in 1953.
He rose to prominence conducting Ferodo in 1955 when the band became British Open Champions, playing Erik Leidzen’s ‘…Sinfonietta for Brass Band….‘
On this week's show we feature his composition The Three Musketeers played by Black Dyke Mills conducted by Derek Broadbent.
