This book traces the origins of American Wind Music during the Federal Era specifically the instrumental instruction books called tutors that were published by American printers. The immense popularity of amateur music making in Federal America is apparent when one discovers the huge quantity of ensemble scores included in the tutors. These tutors mark the true beginning of indigenous instrumental ensemble music in America.
Reviews
“By studying this book, we learn how important wind music was to the cultural tapestry of the 19th Century America. As a result, we can now have a better appreciation of American wind and band music and its importance in today’s daily life whether we are an amateur or professional musician or just a lover of good music.”
