Sunday Bandstand 7 February 2016

Eric Ball (1903 -1989) was an English composer and conductor of brass band music.

His musical origins were founded in the Salvation Army, and he rose to become an officer with the rank of Major, before resigning in 1946 and moving into the general British Brass Band movement. During his time in the Salvation Army, Eric Ball conducted both the SP&S Band and also the International Staff Band.

After the Salvation Army, Eric Ball conducted the CWS (Manchester) Band, the Brighouse and Rastrick Band and many other significant brass bands of the day. Many of his compositions have stood the test of time none more so than Resurgam which is featured on this week's Sunday Bandstand programme ............. Enjoy Chris
