Sunday Bandstand 4 March 2018
The original Palace had measured 1,851 feet (564 m) long, with an interior height of 128 feet (39 m), and was at the time the largest amount of glass ever seen in a building.
The name ‘Crystal Palace’ came from a satirical article in an 1850 edition of Punch about the forthcoming Exhibition, by playwright Douglas Jerrold. Though the building had not yet been approved, he spoke of it as ‘a palace of very crystal’, and the name stuck.
On Saturday 26 September 1936 the National Brass Band Festival was at the famous Crystal Palace. The test piece was 'Kenilworth' by (Sir) Arthur Bliss.
The results were:
1st Foden Motor Works Band MD: J.A.Greenwood
2nd Black Dyke Mills Band MD: William Halliwell
3rd Friary (Guildford) MD: J.A.Greenwood
Little did all those bands taking part and the thousands of people from around the UK who went to watch this annual brass band extravaganza. That on the 30 November, two months after the contest the Crystal Palace was destroyed by a huge fire.
On this week's show we have the test piece Kenilworth, played by the Virtuosi Brass Band of Great Britain.
