Borders, where our Jazz Band performsTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Borders, has been said:- " "The Scottish Borders, like many boundary zones, has a history of conflict and battles through the ages. The traces of prehistoric and Roman life and the remains of many fine abbeys, castles and Peel Towers stand as testimony to this passionate and violent past. This has helped forge a strong sense of identity and common culture in the Border Communities. The turbulent history as well as the natural beauty of the area has also helped to inspire creative talents and imaginations for many years. The romantic novels of Sir Walter Scott and the ballads of James Hogg, the 'Ettrick Shepherd', capture the intrinsic qualities of the Scottish Borders " "True music must repeat the thought and inspirations of the people and the time. My people are Americans and my time is today."~ George Gershwin Click to Enter database [Jazz Bands in Borders for your wedding] [About Jazz Bands] [Ensembles in Borders wedding music repertoire] [About Borders] [About music in Borders] [About Wedding Venues] [About Wedding Ceremonies registrars, ministers and music] [About kinds of music such as classical, jazz or folk] [Frequently Asked Questions FAQs] [Ensembles1] [Ensembles2] [Ensembles3] [Ensembles4] [Links] [Home Page] | | |
