Description
The Eroica Wind Ensemble is formed of musicians currently serving in the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards Bands, and regularly gives concerts in The Guards' Chapel, Birdcage Walk, London. Sales from the CD will help to raise money for the soldiers' injured colleagues - soldiers helping fellow soldiers away from the battlefield.Conducted by Mark Eager, they perform André Caplet's "Suite Persane", Richard Strauss' "Serenade in E-flat major, Op.7", "Noumenon" by contemporary composer Michael Csanyi-Wills (who is also the producer of this disc) and Charles Gounod's Petite Symphonie.
The idea that music plays a major role in the recovery of injured soldiers has long been documented and Help for Heroes Co-Founder Emma Parry OBE is backing this new project - not only does it provide uplifting music to listen to during reecovery, it may even inspire soldiers to take up an instrument.
Steve Plews, Head of Prima Facie Records, commented: "We are delighted to offer the public this opportunity to make a contribution to the amazing work Emma and the team at Help for Heroes are doing for our wounded service members. The connection between healing and music is strong so this collaboration makes total sense. At the same time, we hope to bring the amazing music of the Eroica Wind Ensemble to a wider audience."
25% +VAT from the sale price of each product will be contributed to Help for Heroes Trading Limited, which Gift Aids all its taxable profits to Help for Heroes.
