Exploring the parallel development of the brass band movement and
religious fervor in late 19th-century America, this work includes
illustrations from original materials as well as scores for 22
works. While the choral tradition has remained strong in churches,
in this earlier period both choral and instrumental forms were
equally popular. This study begins with solo cornet parts, used by
men like George Ives to lead the singing at revival meetings, and
ends with an extensive band arrangement of Pleyel's Hymn. Extensive
historical notes, old-time illustrations, and sacred music make
this a most interesting and useful reference book. An enormous
amount of music was written and arranged for the popular brasswinds
at the time, some of which was sacred music for the church.
Changing taste and secularism resulted in the loss of the entire
body of written and arranged sacred music for brass, once as
cherished in church performance as the choral tradition is today.
For scholars and performers interested in the variety of music
produced in the United States during the 19th century.
