THE 47th season of the Kelly College Concert Society opened with the Devon Brass Ensemble, a lively quintet comprising two trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba. They played a great variety of music, from Renaissance through Grieg and Scott Joplin to Fats Waller and Lennon and McCartney. After a brisk opening, the music became wistful and then melancholy, showing just how many moods can be portrayed by five brass instruments. The two trumpeters, Paul Thomas and Geoff Cloke, conducted a ?battle? in a work by the seventeenth century Samuel Scheidt, ably accompanied by the other three, Simon Thomas on French horn, Jeremy Loyson on trombone and Pete Jones on tuba. Percy Grainger?s Shepherd?s Hey was a vivacious, almost dance-like performance, while William Byrd?s Pavan showed how gentle brass music can be. This was a delighful evening?s music; Souza?s Washington Post encore was as well received as all that had preceded it.
