Brass Band Repertoire - it's development from 1821 to the 1990's.
What changes have been evident to the repertoire of bands since early 1800's? What choice of titles have been utilised since then? Why the apparent over-reliance upon classical transcriptions as testpieces prior to 1900? When did the first purpose-written band works appear? Have 20th Century leisure patterns changed the brass band repertiore?
These and other issues are dealt with in this work.
