Opis

Name Index, Volumes 1-12 is the thirteenth and final volume in Dr. David Whitwell's ground breaking History and Literature of the Wind Band and Wind Ensemble series. This volume includes nearly eight thousand entries - musicians, composers, publishers, historians, royalty, philosophers - a virtual encyclopedia of people who have played a part, big or small, in the creation and growth of the wind band and wind ensemble. From the earliest philosophers of ancient Greece to composers from the twentieth century, this index to the History and Literature of the Wind Band and Wind Ensemble series completes one of the most amazing works of music research. Whitwell's meticulous scholarship reveals the continuous history of the wind ensemble, from its earliest roots to the nineteenth century - an unbroken tradition of wind music that music scholars have never been fully able to appreciate until now.
