Book Description
This book had its origins in a series of ten lectures, The Development of the Orchestra, which were prepared and delivered to the service men and women who frequented the music room of the Fifth Avenue USO Club in San Diego, California, during my war-time stay in that important training area as National USO music advisor. In expanding those informal essays into this little book, which is concerned with the development of wind instruments and their use, it has been my desire to afford both the casual reader and the serious student of the orchestra and band with a single volume which might prove of interest. --Preface.

The Wind Band Music of Henry Cowell studies the compositions for wind band by twentieth-century composer Henry Cowell, a significant and prolific figure in American fine art music from 1914-1965. The composer is noteworthy and controversial because of his radical early works, his interest in non-Western musics, and his retrogressive mature style—along with notoriety for his imprisonment in San Quentin on a morals charge. Eleven chapters are organized both topically and chronologically. An introduction, conclusion, series of eight appendices, bibliography, and discography complete this comprehensive study, along with an audio playlist of representative works, hosted on the CMS website.
