MUSI 6366 Music History and Literature ? Wind Band
This course explores the modern wind band, or Wind Ensemble, as a result of the evolutionary process over the past three hundred and fifty years. The role of a wind instrument player has changed from a minor role in the orchestral setting, to a supportive ceremonial role in military situations, to a key player in an all wind professional performance group. These changes have required instrument makers to improve the quality of their product and have inspired composers to write for a completely new genre of music.
