Lead, Kindly Light / Lei, milde ljos Charles Henry Purday / Arr. Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen

Serie / Series: Brass Band Originals and Transcriptions

Lead, Kindly Light is composed by the English composer Charles Henry Purday (1799-1885).
This arrangement was originally written for Norwegian band Hjørungavåg Brass.

Purday was appointed conductor of psalmody at Crown Court Scots Church in Covent Garden, London, in the 1840's, during the ministry of Dr. John Cumming. Dr. Cumming's church was so popular that it was said traffic could not move in Bow Street and Drury Lane for the throng of carriages making their way to services.
Purday was a fine vocalist and had sung at the coronation of Queen Victoria. He became a music publisher, and was a pioneer in the movement for copyright law reform.

[NO]Lei, milde ljos ble komponert av engelskmannen Charles Henry Purday (1799-1885). Den er mye spilt verden over og spesielt mye i England.
Dette arrangementet ble skrevet for brassband-besetning til Hjørungavåg Brass som bestilte det til en av sine årlige «Stille konserter» som de arrangerer hver Alle helgens søndag.

Purday var selv en meget dyktig sanger, og medvirket blant annet ved kroningen av Dronning Victoria av England. Han var dessuten musikkforlegger og regnes som en pionèr i arbeidet for loven om opphavsrett knyttet til musikkverk.
