James Ord Hume
1864-1932


James Ord Hume came from a poor background, but through determination became the most respected brass and military band composer and adjudicator of the British Empire. 

As part of ongoing research into James Ord Hume, I am collecting copies of his original brass/military band compositions and also early recordings of his original works on 78rpm. If you can help with this please contact me. Thanks
