Enfield Citadel Band of The Salvation Army welcomes you to our ‘Proms’ evening.

The Salvation Army is known throughout the UK for its own music making whether that be brass, choral or pop, and this evening we want to make use of the wealth of music available to us from both inside and outside of The Salvation Army to bring you a concert recognising all that is going on 2012. The Diamond Jubilee, Proms, Olympics and Paralympics unite the whole country in celebration, but in London we really are the beneficiaries with it being on our doorstep. However, you may not have braved the rain for the Diamond Jubilee weekend or been successful in obtaining tickets for the opening ceremony, so we hope you enjoy our version instead! We are delighted and privileged to be joined by such a quality singing group as ffourtissimo, who have already made a name for themselves in the concert and TV arena. Singing in a variety of styles from opera to the Beatles, they bring something special for every musical taste.

The evening will be expertly held together by our compere Major James Williams.

There will be opportunity for you to join in the fun too in the second half. Enjoy yourselves!

Enfield Citadel Band

For more than 100 years, Enfield Citadel Band has proclaimed the gospel message in the suburbs of North London. Founded in Tottenham, in 1892, the band gained early recognition as one of The Salvation Army’s leading musical groups and, in the years that followed, a rich history and tradition was established. In 1972, with the merging of two Salvation Army corps, the band moved to Enfield, on the outskirts of North London, and assumed its present title. There, as before, the band’s service has continued within the corps, in open-air activities and in visits to hospitals etc. in the same way as Salvation Army bands throughout the world.

In addition to service within it’s own locality Enfield Citadel Band travels extensively to present its ministry in music making. It has performed in most of the major concert venues in the British Isles and has shared programmes with some of the leading contesting bands including Black Dyke, Fairey’s and Foden’s. Visits to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA have also been undertaken. Enfield Citadel Band is also regularly involved in broadcasting and recording activities: a number of recent recordings on compact disc are available tonight.

A wide range of professions are represented by its members from accountants to architects and civil servants to salesmen, but all are united by the desire to use their talents in the Lord’s service.

Bandmaster Jonathan Corry

Having commenced cornet lessons with his father, John, Jonathan Corry quickly progressed and took trumpet lessons with Paul Young (a former Enfield bandsman) and became Principal Trumpet of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain.

He studied trumpet at the Royal Northern College of Music, during which time he developed a keen interest in conducting which led to him being appointed at a young age as Musical Director of Besses O’th Barn Brass Band. It was at this time that he also featured as a guest soloist at Enfield Citadel Band’s Spring Festival.

Jonathan has since appeared as guest conductor for many top bands throughout the UK and recently received an invitation to conduct French champions, Brass Band Nord Pas-de-Calais.

A fifth generation Salvationist, Jonathan originally hails from Belfast Temple and was appointed Bandmaster of Enfield Citadel Band in January 2009 after a move to London.

His first commitment is to the unique music ministry of Enfield Citadel Band and using his talent ‘Ad Optimum’ – To The Highest.

All people that on earth do dwell

All people that on earth do dwell,Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell;Come ye before Him and rejoice.

The Lord, ye know, is God indeed;Without our aid He did us make;We are His folk, He doth us feed,And for His sheep He doth us take.

O enter then His gates with praise;Approach with joy His courts unto;Praise, laud, and bless His Name always,For it is seemly so to do.

For why? the Lord our God is good;His mercy is for ever sure;His truth at all times firmly stood,And shall from age to age endure.

To Father, Son and Holy Ghost,The God Whom Heaven and earth adore,From men and from the angel hostBe praise and glory evermore.

Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 Land of Hope & Glory

Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.

Jerusalem

And did those feet in ancient timeWalk upon England’s mountains green?And was the holy Lamb of GodOn England’s pleasant pastures seen?And did the Countenance DivineShine forth upon our clouded hills?And was Jerusalem builded hereAmong those dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold:Bring me my arrows of desire:Bring me my spear: O clouds, unfold!Bring me my chariot of fire!I will not cease from mental fight,Nor shall my sword sleep in my handTill we have built JerusalemIn England’s green and pleasant land.

National Anthem

God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen!
