The Brass Band of memories  
Passes by close to the ears (playing)

Would that be an accurate translation of 耳元を過ぎる?

よろしくお願いいたします。




Yes, this 過ぎる means "to pass by", and 耳元を過ぎる is a literary, poetic way of
saying "to hear (for a short time)", or sometimes "(for the sound) to cease to
be heard".
