Lift up the Banner

The recording, Lift up the Banner, made in conjunction with the Songster Brigade from Chelmsford was recorded in the summer of 1998 at St Andrew's Church, Melbourne Chelmsford.

Sub-titled Music for Sunday Worship, it contains music that is varied and spans the years. It includes music from the pen of well known SA composers like Dean Goffin, Eric Ball and George Marshall, presenting pieces that are SA "classics" in their own right. It then brings us up to date with music from contemporary composers like Len Ballantine, Barry Gott and Richard Phillips.

The recording is dedicated to the memory of Major Thomas Wilson (1932-98) who for five years from 1992 served with his wife Lillian as the Commanding Officer of the Chelmsford Corps and was Promoted to Glory shortly after the completion of this recording.
