Description
This poignant setting by W. Lippeatt brings together two of the most iconic melodies in the British tradition, combining the nostalgic strains of the traditional “Auld Lang Syne” with the solemn, military dignity of “The Last Post.” The brass band’s unique ability to produce organ-like sonorities and deep, resonant tones is used to great effect here, creating a sense of history and shared memory that is designed for maximum emotional impact. Ideal for Remembrance Day services, New Year’s celebrations, or any occasion requiring a tribute to those who have passed, this arrangement is a versatile and essential addition to a band’s library. It offers a respectful and moving way to close a performance or a formal ceremony with a sense of unity and reflection.
