Hello Roger.

I understand you were asking about a cornet solo on our CSB:The First Ten Years compilation album, specifically from the second piece on the first CD, Norman Bearcroft's "Three Spirituals."

This piece is not really a cornet solo per se, but it does have some solo sections in the Solo Cornet part. The three movements in the suite are: 1) Shoes; 2) Every Time I Feel the Spirit; and 3) The Gospel Train.

Blessings,

Colonel Bearcroft has a Facebook account. Perhaps you could contact him that way and ask him directly.

I have this Album but I;m trying to find out the name of the cornet solo under the title Three Spiritual...I found the video under youtube done by the Boscombe Citadel band but again I didn't get the cornet solo title.
I'm desperately looking for the name and then I can get the sheet music..It's hard trying to play it my "air"
Thank you Bandmans Roger G
