Description:

A collection of brass band works performed by the Corey Band. The highlight is Eric Whitaker's "October," which is also the title tune. Although the original is for brass band, it has been arranged for chorus and orchestra, and is one of Whittaker's most popular works. Philip Spark has arranged it for brass band, maintaining the beautiful harmonies of the slow and relaxed original. The performance by the Corey Band, which sings the song with great earnestness, is also noteworthy. Other songs on the album include "You Can't Stop the Beat" from the musical "Hairspray," which was the talk of the town when it was performed by a Japanese cast in 2022, and Adele's "Easy on Me. This collection is recommended as a selection of music and as a favorite listening disc.
