Ammanford 2006 Adjudication

Essence of Time, Peter Graham

 Very strong start, watch ensemble at 1.
5, Good tempo and style, ensemble good here.
7,Nice sound, very full, triplets accurate.
9, Articulation could be a little clearer, style is excellent.
11, Watch bass drum is not too heavy here. Very "brilliant" work in cornets.
12, Horns good but watch intonation.
13, Control volume here, a little overblown.
15, Accompaniment is sensitive here.
16, Watch tempo - a little unsteady.
18, Good change of style - watch tempo is controlled.
19, Excellent trombone work - great ensemble work.
21, Again a little overblown here, watch the volume.
24, Excellent work solo cornet. Dynamics all a bit heavy here for me. Watch tempo - allow the music to have time to 'breathe'.
26, Excellent soloists.
27, Nice control here, watch that theme is phrased right through. Keel legato feel at all times.
Before 29, move on molto rall.
29, Neat work in euphs.
32, Watch that cornets don't rush.
35, Neat tempo - watch tuning.
39, Great ensemble.
41, Effects are very good.
A superb performance, watch that 'slower' music is given time to breathe.
