Thank you all so much for taking an interest in this one. I think music is very important, and trying to narrow it down to eight is so difficult. There are so many that we have to leave out. I like a lot of Handel, such as the Harmonious Blacksmith, the Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, Silent Worship, Where Ere You Walk, etc etc.
I also love brass bands and trumpet music. Philip McCann comes from Bo'ness and teaches at Huddersfield Technical College. His cornet playing has a wonderful tone. On trumpet, of course, there is Wynton Marsalis, both Jazz and Classical.
I could haver on about music all night, but won't.
Best wishes.
