I've been singing / humming Crown Imperial (William Walton) for the past day or two. Sunday lunchtime I went to Customs House (an old building in town) to hear the UQ Symphonic Band and the UQ Brass Ensemble. They were pretty good - played some good music. I recognised Crown Imperial - I think that I played it back in the old days (late 90's) and Moussorgsky's Great Gate of Kiev (although I prefer an orchestral sound than a band sound for this piece). It was a pretty popular gig - I only got a seat due to the fact that they put an extra row of chairs at the back of the room. Coincidentally we starting singing in choir (yesterday) one of the pieces played on Sunday...

I found out about the concert a brochure picked up at the art gallery the previous weekend. The exhibitions in there for this (second) trip of mine didn't grab me as much as my first visit there. Such is life, I suppose.
