Teaching Music through Performance in Band: Solos with Wind Band Accompaniment/G8188

This ambitious volume assembles
into one place, for the first time, a
comprehensive listing of 2,400 published solos
with wind band accompaniment by more than
1,000 composers, organized by instrument.


Prepared by Eugene Migliaro Corporon and compiled and edited by Richard Miles,
each listed work includes the title, composer, publisher, timing, year published, and
available recording. Also included are biographies of each of the composers, with cross-
references to works, publisher and personal websites, and other sources for additional
information.


Corporon, Miles, and a team of contributors shed light on several questions including:
What soloists or soli groups have received the most attention? How many historical
periods are represented? Who have been the major contributors? What is the availability
of recordings? How important is it to form creative partnerships with the great artists of
our time to bring this important body of work to light?


This book is testament to the wealth of quality solo literature with wind band
accompaniment. In the process of preparing this volume, the authors identified hundreds
of new works and uncovered many lost and forgotten gems that have remained hidden
for too long.
