Description
“A Psalm for All Nations” is a profound fantasia on Jubilate Deo (Psalm 100), composed by the towering figure of the brass world, Eric Ball. Commissioned as the 4th Section test piece for the 1970 British National Brass Band Championships, this work is a masterclass in brass orchestration and spiritual expression. Eric Ball weaves the traditional hymn tune into a rich sonic tapestry that ranges from quiet reflection to jubilant celebration. This piece demands exceptional tonal quality, balanced phrasing, and musical sensitivity, making it a rewarding challenge and a deeply resonant concert item that embodies the heart of the British brass tradition.
