Musical Brass.

Goldfinch60



I look around me,

Look at the faces of the people,

The people watching the performance,

They are all enraptured, enlightened.

The band is playing,

Their glorious sound engulfs them,

Engulfs me.

As they play

I am lifted into another world,

A world of beautiful music.

A feeling of wonder comes over me,

The hairs on my body rise,

Goosebumps come all over me

As the music permeates my soul.

I am lost in that glorious world

Where the brass shines through me

With the sound of their notes.

Again I look around,

I find the others too are in my world

As the brass band plays,

Plays through their souls,

Into ours.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I went to the Pershore Summer Brass Festival yesterday and had a wonderful time listening to some wonderful bands. Concerts from 10.00am to 10.00pm - cost £7.50, not bad for a days wonderful entertainment from 29 Brass Bands - I did not see them all but saw the best ones.

      We have several bands around here our Church Organist is an E flat bass player, at this event he is asked to play in four or more bands, not being a competition it is allowed, we see many junior players as well earlier in the day so the art will not be lost.
