This

Change, traces the

American wind
band/ensemble in the
twentieth century. It

during the first decade
of the twenty-first
century. In gathering

book, the author examined
hundreds of scores,
listened to dozens of
recordings, attended
conferences, interviewed
wind band/ensemble
director-conductors, and
surveyed numerous
professional journals and
magazines. The result is
a book that provides a
