This book was originally published in 1998. For most of the
nineteenth and the early part of the twentieth century, the brass
band was a major feature of musical life in Britain. This book
surveys the hundred years from 1836 in which bands flourished,
examining their origins in the village bands of the nineteenth
century, the culture of banding competitions that developed and the
manner in which this fostered the growth and success of bands. Roy
Newsome charts the impact of social and economic change on amateur
bands during this period. The influence of classical music, in
particular opera, on early band music is also examined. The latter
part of the book looks in detail at the original music written for
brass bands by composers such as Holst, Elgar and Bliss, as well as
pieces written by prominent band leaders.
