Life Ablaze by Steven Ponsford - New York Staff Band, Bandmaster Derek Lance at the Centennial Memorial Temple. June 11, 2021. USA Eastern Territory Commissioning 2021.
I entirely agree with Steve Honz. Derek's conducting is wonderful and brings out the best in what is, in my view, one of the very best bands in the world. As to this piece what can one say about Steven Ponsford which hasn't already been said? His God given talent produces a combination of musicianship and spirituality which is, at one and the same time, deeply moving and inspirational. The way in which Steven arranges contemporary worship songs takes me into God's presence in such an amazing way.
Wow, so good. Great sound. God gets the glory.
Magnificent. What a brilliant performance' Great sop, and lovely work from principal cornet and eupho. Love your work Aaron.
