Rossini's Willliam Tell overture played by The Grimethorpe Colliery Band from the movie "Brassed Off". See also • Brassed Off - Danny Bo... from this movie.
Brings a tear to the eye when I hear this scene. My dad and grandad spent all their life working at Grimethorpe Colliery. They were proud of the band and rightly so.

Since I first saw the movie when it was released on video, it gave me a renewed interest in all brass bands. The movie itself is a great tribute to all the union workers getting screwed by ruthless companies.

Taken by itself, simply as a random performance it is magnificent. I agree with your post completely. It is absolutely my favorite performance of this piece and this is one of my favorite pieces. But then when you factor in the story line of this movie and what this performance in this particular scene represents for the characters and the people and story the movie is based on and all the emotions that go with it, it becomes transcendent almost on the level of a religious experience. It transports you right there and makes you feel like you are actually part of the story feeling what the characters are feeling. It sounds cliché and people say things like that about movies all the time but in this case it is true. This movie gets a rare 5 stars from me and much of that is due to the music and in particular this performance. I only regret I wasn't there when they recorded it.

Movie Trivia: Commonly understood to be based on Grimethorpe Colliery Band, the fictional pit village of Grimley is actually an amalgamation of two neighboring South Yorkshire pit villages: Grimethorpe and Frickley. Both have internationally known brass bands. Frickley pit closed in 1993, a year after Grimethorpe. Unlike the other actors in the movie, Ewan McGregor knows how to play an instrument. He played the French horn when he was younger, which is an instrument with similar pitch to the Eb tenor horn his character plays in the movie ~ IMDb

@LINDA230651 Most older band music has both cornet and trumpet parts. The cylindrical bore of the cornet lends are warming sound to the instrument making it more suitable for melodic work whereas the trumpet is usually utilized in punchy passages and occasionally for more dramatic passages.
@peternotarfrancesco2614
4 жыл бұрын
Sorry the cornet is conical, slow taper allows for smoother transition to the ambient air from the mouthpiece & valve train. Similar to a tuba and euphonium. The trumpet has the cylinder shape. Does not taper until it must, much closer to the bell causing the punchy tone you noted. Same as trombone. The conical cornet shape results is a lower acoustic standing waves similar to VSWR in radio antenna design. Just my opinion and just like bellybuttons everybody got. ‘Em.

I'd think that some extremely talented musicians are getting paid a lot less than they could get working in London etc., and that the Band are putting money into the hands of people that would otherwise have nothing (hence why they were sweeping the bandroom), thus doing a great service to their community, in addition to the other very real work the Band do in the area. Of course, if you can do better, I'm sure they're always looking for more players, or you could even set up your own band.
