Brass Band: To Boldly Go Peter Graham

To Boldly Go was commissioned by the Melbourne Staff Band of the Salvation Army, Bandmaster Ken Waterworth, in celebration of the band's 125th Anniversary in 2015.

Ken Waterworth requested that the new work echo the flavour and style of the composers' earlier Shine as the Light; accordingly this new work gives special prominence to well-established Salvationist songs, in this case I'll go in the strength of the Lord (Turney and Bosanko) and I'll not turn back (Gowans and Larsson).

As the band celebrated and refected upon the past 125 years of service, the message of the songs serves as a reminder of the continuing journey and mission of the Melbourne Staff Band in the 21st century.
