Edward Gregson is a household name with brass players inside and outside The Salvation Army. Edward talks to Matthew about growing up in The Salvation Army, his compositions and his greatest triumphs in life – his under-15 sporting achievements!

Richard Phillips then joins Matthew for another ‘extraordinary insight’ into Salvation Army repertoire. 'Metamorphosis', published in 2004, was written at the request of Major John Mott and holds great personal significance for the composer. Richard tells us the story behind the piece before delving into the music. Part two of the analysis will be in next month’s podcast. 

Chris Webster (Regional Music Leader – Greater New York Division and NYSB) is the inhabitant of the Arid Island this month. What album will he choose to keep him company throughout his stay?

A new Sparsely Scored and Bandmastermind complete another episode.
