About the Author:
Trevor Herbert is a Professor of Music at The Open University.
Review:
`well-researched and well-argued ... Dave Russell and Vic and Sheila Gammon provide splendidly referenced essays on the social background of banding communities ... This is an important book, which will play a significant part in the rehabilitation of a great British tradition and its
assimilation into the main-stream of the country's musical life.'
Philip Wilby
`In adding 157 pages to his 1991 Bands, Herbert improved what was already a significant contribution to the literature about a British national passion.'
M. Meckna, Choice, March 2001.
`This book, surely, is essential reading for all those who take a serious interest in this branch of music-making.'
Bram Gay, TLS
`Here at last we have a history, as complete as human endeavour can make, of the birth, development, organization and repertoire of the brass band in the British sense of the term'
Bram Gay, TLS
`a thorough appraisal of instruments, both historical and modern.'
Rebecca Agnew, Classical Music, 7th Oct 2000.
`an absorbing overview of brass performance practice.'
Rebecca Agnew, Classical Music, 7th Oct, 2000.

`a well-rounded examination of more than a century and a half of brass banding.'

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The British Brass Band is based on an earlier volume, Bands, published by Open University Press (1991) as part of its Popular Music in Britain Series. It was hailed as the most detailed and scholarly treatment of its subject. For the present volume, the original chapters have been heavily revised and an additional three chapters added, together with new and extensive appendices, numerous illustrations, a bibliography, and a new introduction. The new material includes studies on brass band repertoire, performance practices, and the bands of the Salvation Army. The contributors are the pre-eminent authorities on the subject. The work as a whole can be taken as a study of both a unique (and often misunderstood) aspect of British music, and its interaction with broader spheres of social and cultural history. It is the most detailed and definitive study of the subject. This is the definitive study of the history and music of the traditional British brass band. It explores the origins of the brass band, its unique and exclusive world, and its relevance for wider spheres of music and social history.
