Although military music was among the most widespread forms of
music making during the nineteenth-century, it has been almost
totally overlooked by music historians. Music & the British
Military in the Long Nineteenth Century however, shows that
military bands reached far beyond the official ceremonial duties
they are often primarily associated with and had a significant
impact on wider spheres of musical and cultural life. Beginning
with a discussion of the place of the military in civilian and
social life, authors Trevor Herbert and Helen Barlow plot the story
of military music from its sponsorship by military officers to its
role as an expression of imperial force, which it took on by the
end of the nineteenth century. Herbert and Barlow organize their
study around three themes: the use of military status to extend
musical patronage by the officer class; the influence of the
military on the civilian music establishments; and an incremental
movement towards central control of military music making by
governments throughout the world. In so doing, they show that
military music impacted everything from the configuration of the
music profession in the major metropolitan centers, to the
development of wind instruments throughout the century, to the
emergence of organized amateur music making. A much needed addition
to the scholarship on nineteenth century music, Music & the
British Military in the Long Nineteenth Century is an essential
reference for music, cultural and military historians, the social
history of music and nineteenth century studies.
