A brass section drawn from members of the band was often used in the Chapel on special occasions, so that's probably the case here.Fjgrogan wrote:Is it not likely that on this occasion the band was used specifically because of the recording?
As in John's time, we also used to get out and about. I remember playing in a brass group in places like Brighton, Worth Abbey, and others. Mostly early music stuff - Gabrieli, Byrd, Scheidt, Praetorius, etc. Very enjoyable, too.
