Sir George Thalben-Ball: Elegy - David Thornton (euphonium)

Soloist: David Thornton Instrument: Geneva Oldroyd Cardinal Euphonium Mouthpiece: Denis Wick SM4X Sir George Thalben-Ball was born in Australia, but lived in the UK for most of his life, becoming well-known as something of a “showman” recitalist in the grand late Victorian/Edwardian style. He became Director of Music at the Temple Church in London, as well as City Organist at Birmingham Town Hall, and his name is still held with great respect by the majority of organists. He dedicated his Elegy, apparently conceived as an improvisation to fill in time at the end of a BBC-recorded service during the war, to Walford Davis who preceded him as organist at the Temple Church in London. The Elegy was also performed during the funeral of Princess Diana.
