is a fascinating and
important book for
everybody even remotely
interested in the history
of American bands. Bryan
Proksch has done some
painstakingly thorough
research in putting
together an amazing
assemblage of
documents… This is a
must-have book! —Jon

14–15 For the scholar,
each entry presents an
opportunity for
expansion. For the
teacher, this work
provides source readings
for courses on wind band
history or for
complementing Strunk or
Weiss-Taruskin in
university music history
courses. That said, these
documents stand as an
enriching and
entertaining read in
their own right for
anyone interested in the
subject. —Michael
O’Connor Historic
Brass Today 1/2 (Spring
2022), 32 The Golden Age
of American Bands is
ideally suited for
courses on the history
and literature of bands
in America. Indeed, this
volume could suffice as a
textbook for
adventuresome teachers in
that it touches on the
major musicians,
instruments, ensembles,
and functions expected of
such a course. . . . Both
private and classroom
band instructors will
find compelling glimpses
into the history of their
craft. [It is] bursting
with opportunities to
inspire curiosity in
their students while
effectively supporting
their own curricular
goals. —Benjamin D.
Lawson and James A. Davis

Music History Pedagogy
Proksch’s new
collection of documents
is a most welcome step in
the direction of getting
[the story of bands]
under control. The
juxtaposition of
documents from so many
levels and types of
ensembles proves to have
a cumulative effect: one
begins to see the subtle
and long-lasting
connections among them
despite the big
differences. It is easy
to envision it as a
supplemental text in a
course on band history
and literature, but the
book is also just an
absorbing read. There is
much to learn here, and
much to enjoy. —Ken
Kreitner Notes 79/2

This is the story of the
American wind band, told
chronologically by those
who experienced it in
real time from 1835 to
1935. How did bands
become bands? How did
they rise in popularity?
Which figures had
insights and specific
impacts on the
development of the genre?
Through source documents
and articles, Bryan
Proksch takes us on an
extraordinary journey
from the time of the
first brass bands in the
1830s, through the Civil
War and the golden ages
of Gilmore and Sousa, to
the cusp of the wind
ensemble just before
World War II. Hear from a
young Frederick Fennell
about his efforts to
create the first band at
Eastman. Read the outline
of Allessandro
Liberati’s unpublished
trumpet method book.
Eavesdrop on Karl L. King
as he muses on the fate
of bands after the death
of Sousa. See Patrick
Conway’s first
undergraduate music
education curriculum.

battle. Find out what it
felt like to sit in a
Sousa Band rehearsal. Ask
Herbert L. Clarke why he
thinks you should be
playing a cornet instead
of a trumpet. Find out
how P. S. Gilmore managed
to pull off the biggest
concert events in
American history. The
book includes numerous
rare and unknown
illustrations to show you
the places where band
history happened. The
documents include rare
periodical excerpts,
handwritten letters, and
other writings taken from
archives throughout the
United States. These
first-person accounts are
certain to further refine
and deepen our
understanding and
appreciation of American
band history on a grand
scale. Contents:

Daniel
Akiva is a composer,
performer, and educator
whose performances on
guitar and lute have
earned international
acclaim. Mr. Akiva
graduated from the Rubin
Academy of Music in
Jerusalem in 1981, where
he studied classical
guitar with Haim Asulin
and composition with Haim
Alexander. In 1987 he
completed his studies of
lute with Jonathan Rubin
and composition with Jean
Ballisa at the Geneva
Conservatorium in
Switzerland. In 1986 he
founded the Music
Department at the WIZO
High School for the Arts
in Haifa which he headed
for over thirty years. As
part of his work at WIZO
High School, he developed
a method for teaching
free improvisation which
has been incorporated
into the music program at
the school. He also
served as the Artistic
Director of the Guitar
Gems Festival from
2006-2018. Mr. Akiva
has performed in concerts
as a guitarist and
lutenist and given master
classes in Israel,
Europe, Russia, the
United States, and Latin
America. Daniel Akiva’s
compositional output
includes works for solo
instruments, chamber
ensembles, choir, voice
and guitar, piano, and
chamber orchestra. His
works have been recorded
on twelve CDs, the latest
of which, Malchut, was
issued by OR-TAV in 2014.
Akiva's work Psalms for
guitar solo was awarded
the ACUM prize for
composition in 1990, and
his string quartet Ciclos
was awarded the ACUM
prize for composition in
2002. In 2006 his CD
Hope, recorded with
Laurel Zucker (flute) and
Ronit Widmann-Levy
(soprano) was awarded the
Amazon prize. In 2017
Akiva was awarded the
Prime Minister's Prize
for composers in
Israel. A native of
Haifa whose family has
lived in Israel for over
five hundred years, he
was steeped in the
Sephardic
(Jewish-Spanish)
tradition from his youth.
A large part of his
oeuvre has been devoted
to a dialogue with the
music of the Sephardic
Jews. Daniel Akiva has
also maintained a
creative dialogue
throughout the years with
poets and writers Amnon
Shemesh, Rivka Miriam,
and Avner Perez. 105
