The first study of the performance practice, repertoire and context
of the modern 'brass ensemble' in the musical world. Whereas the
British 'brass band' originated in the nineteenth century and
rapidly developed into a nationwide working-class movement, the
perceived modern 'brass ensemble' has a less clear foundation and
identity. This book is the first to focus exclusively on the
performance, practice, repertoire and context of the 'brass
ensemble' in the musical world. Following World War II, the brass
quintet and other orchestral groupings emerged in the United States
and Europe, with musical customs established by professional
players playing orchestral instruments. These groups initially
played a combination of the music of Gabrieli and his
contemporaries as well as newly commissioned works. By the late
twentieth century, however, repertory spanned works by Elliott
Carter, Maxwell Davies and Lutoslawski, together with music that
integrated jazz, commercial elements, and landmark transcriptions.
At the book's heart is the story of the London-based,
internationally acclaimed, Philip Jones Brass Ensemble. But this is
not a story of one ensemble, as the 'brass ensemble' can be defined
in several forms. The Modern Brass Ensemble in Twentieth-Century
Britain offers a comprehensive account by an author and performer
who was involved in many of the key developments of the modern
'brass ensemble'.
