The British Open Championship has announced the minor amendments to the score of the set-work 'A Brussels Requiem' that have been made in agreement with Belgian composer Bert Appermont for the 166th contest that will take place at Symphony Hall in Birmingham on Saturday 8th September.
No new score or parts will be published, but bands are requested to amend the existing printed publication as follows for this contest.
Bars 72-83:
These bars should be left out. Bar 71 needs to be followed by bar 84. The first beat of bar 72 is to be played at bar 84 on the first beat (with the exception of the percussion)
Bars 130-137:
These bars should be left out. Bar 129 is to be followed bar 138.
Bars 329-344:
These bars should be left out. Bar 328 is to be followed by bar 345. In bar 345, solo cornet 1 needs to play a dotted half note A instead of C (a minor third down).
Furthermore, the dotted half note on the first beat of bar 345 needs to be erased in the soprano cornet, solo cornet 2, 3, 4 and in the 3 trombone parts.
