Music of Thanksgiving and Hope (2010) – New

cdMusicofThanksgivingandHope

CD – $15.00

Now Available

The New York Staff Band’s dynamic program of six representative concert works in the period 1950 – 2010 demonstrates a major tension present in Salvation Army band literature: the desire to proclaim a clear and simple gospel message through accessible songs versus the increasingly sophisticated symphonic scale works designed to challenge the experienced listener on multiple levels. The pieces on this disc succeed on both levels and have been joined together under a noble theme: music that projects hope; and music that expresses the highest aspirations of the Christian heart, thanksgiving and praise.

- Dr. Ronald Holz

 

 

New York, New York (2009)

CD – $15.00

The NYSB has always sought to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ via entertaining music that also carries a clear spiritual message or application. That has been particularly true of the NYSB under its current director, Ronald Waiksnoris. This particular program highlights this progressive pattern and celebrates three generations of British arrangers: Goff Richards, Peter Graham and Dorothy Gates.

 

 

A Christmas Fanfare (2008)

CD – $15.00

A Christmas Fanfare is the first Christmas recording by the New York Staff Band since the band released Christmas Rejoicing in 1998. For some avid brass
band followers, the latest recording may be a
long awaited addition to a collection. For others,
including the casual listener, it will be a
great way to experience the spirit of the season.
Whether you listen to it in your living room or pop it into your automobile’s
CD player, take time to rejoice with us in
celebrating the birth of Christ.

to the band’s effective singing throughout
Thomas Mack’s distinguished leadership.

 

Ceaseless Service (2007)

CD – $15.00

One hundred twenty years of continuous service is a momentous milestone for the New York Staff Band.  The band’s history reflects a long line of musicians who have played music to bring honor to God, including many fine composers and arrangers.  This recording features music written by New York Staff Band composers.  It is the hope of the band that this recording would not be an historic reflection but rather an up to date listening experience that will encourage and inspire the listener.

Purchase sheet music here.

This
recording combines the dedicated amateur musicians of
the NYSB with one of today’s premiere professional trumpeters
in an album sure to become a classic. Philip Smith comments on choosing the repertoire for this recording:

As I decided on repertoire, I was guided by a desire to connect with the heritage of the New York Staff Band, my own experience in the staff band, my dad’s connection as staff bandmaster and my connection with him. But if anybody hears this album and hears only music, they’ve missed the point. My prayer is that they will hear the message. I want them to know my motivation — what Christ means to me, how He has led me and how He continues to lead.
