Sunday Bandstand 19 June 2022

Johann Strauss II wrote Morgenblatter (which translates to Morning Journals or Morning Papers) Op 279 in 1863 and was first performed the following year. We are featuring this waltz on today's show. It is played by the Munn and Felton's (Footwear) Band with Stanley Boddington conducting in 1961.

Brass bands don't seem to play waltzes these days. Back in the halcyon days of playing on the park bandstand at the height of summer during the post-wars years and through to the 1970s this kind of music was always a standard programme item.

Enjoy what is a rare performance of this waltz which was arranged for brass bands by Edrich Siebert...
