Sir Edward German (17 February 1862 – 11 November 1936) was an English musician and composer of Welsh descent, best remembered for his extensive output of incidental music for the stage and as a successor to Arthur Sullivan in the field of English comic opera.
For the Cardiff Festival of 1904 he composed a potpourri of Welsh tunes which he titled 'Welsh Rhapsody' and closed with a rousing arrangement of that stirring tune Men of Harlech. It is this tune that has been the target of many arrangers but German's is still considered the best.
In 1941 Denis Wright wrote a brass band selection 'Edward German Melodies' . In 1953 Denis Wright also wrote a transcription called 'Men of Harlech' (March Paraphrase).
It is this piece which is played and closes this week's programme and is featured by the Cory Workman's Band conducted by John Harrison in a 1969 recording
