The formation of the present day
orchestra is a comparatively recent
invention, as is also the construction
of the principal sections. the strings of
the modern orchestra. AS long as
string Instruments have been used
in unison, the time, nevertheless, does
not begin to compare with the long
popularity of the wind instruments.
The romantic and historical events
they have helped to bring to climax,
the feats of heroism and the out
bursts of exalted emotion they have
inspired, are interviewer in the his
tory of the world from the earliest
biblical records to the present moment.
The soul-moving music of the violin
and cello can enter into the secret

of kingdom, for unleashing the
powerful torrents o. patriotism. for
stimulating the dropping spirit to
greater endeavor ard for emphasizing
the glorious Solemnity of a hero'S pass
ing the music of the band cannot be
equaled.
The fact that band music belongs
entirely to the people. whether of high
or low estate. can be traced through
the ages. The approach of emperor
or king in former ceremOniOuS days
was heralded by trumpet tiOuriShes
and the merrymaking of villagers,
church festivals and the common SOL
diers marching hours were enlivened
by the music of bands. Before the
specialized art of string instrument
playing came into vogue the wind in
struments provided the music for all
classes of people and for all celebra-
tions They served as means OF
transmitting the deeds of valor OF the
warriors OF early history when the
wandering minstrels brought to isolated
villages and fortified castles their
songs made up of the news of the
day and sung TO the accompaniment

of that day. though ranking as vaga-
bonds, we're welcomed in the best cir
Cles. In protest against their low
rating and fighting for recognition. as
has ever been the lot of musicians,
they eventually formed sort of musi-
clans union and obtained the patron
age of high perSonageS. music lovers
who we're willing to assume the re-
Sp0nSibility for the sake of art.
In France and Germany, under the
patronage of the kings. the bands be-
came a part of the civic life, with
rules and regulations governing their
personnel and duties. Great secrecy
was maintained regarding the music
to be played. especially Tor the trum-
peters, and most of it was learned by
ear so as to eliminate the dangers OF
notation and consequent accessibility
of the repertoire. Used first in war
fare by individual princes, who brought
their musicians to brighten camp life
and the long marches. the salutary
effect of band music TO keep up the
morale of troops was soon recognized
and gradually incorporated into army
regulations. Frederick the Great and
Napoleon encouraged the use of mar
tial music and the impetus given to
the development of band music is due
in great part TO their foresight and

understanding of the psychological
reaction to the music of wind instru-
mentS accompanied by the beat of
drums
Although England was the last coun-
try to be interested in band music,
the number of bands has increased
enormously within the last years
Owners of important enterprises first
urged their employees to form bands
for their diversion and so excellent
have these groups became that con-
/ tests were organized between differ
ent labor units throughout the coun-
try. At one of the largest contests
1000 brass instruments performed each
day. The military bands of England
now rank with the best in France and
Germany, the two countries in which
band music has been longest popular
and which tor centuries encouraged
( the development of this kind OF music.
Mr.. Gilmore, with the 22d Regi-
mental Band of New York, was the
first 10 show Europe the caliber of
American band music, winning UNI
Stinted praise for the excellence OF
its performance. Since then, there
have been many opportunities for the
Continentals to hear both The Service
bands and those Of private orsaniza-
ton. No more popular leader or
composer ever lived than the great
SouSa. whose contributions 10 band
progress was not limited TO his
stirring compositions but comprised
an expert knowledge of tOnal harmony
which led to his improvement OF
some instruments to add TO the range
and color OF the pand John Philip
/ SouSa for many years leader Of the
! United States Marine Band, later or
| sanized a band OF his own and with
il made a world tour and several trips
TO Europe.
The instruments used in bands have
undergone great improvement since
he early days, many OF the old in
Struments being abandoned entirely.
Others, such as the trumpet, which
was considered SO important for all
imperial uSageS that the common
people were forbidden its use. have
taken second place in the broadened
tonal possibilities of the band of
today Particularly interesting are
the improvements made in the claIi-
net. the ba&oon and the horns.
The wind instruments are greatly
in demand in modern orchestras and
the need of expert performers Is
sadly felt. The study of these III
StrumentS does not require as long y
time in which to become proficient as
is necessary with the violin, viola or
cello. With orCheStraS forming IN
increasing numbers throughout the
country, the study of the wind instru-
nents should likewise increase. The
held of good players is not nearly so
crowded as is the case with other IN
struments SO that student can have
reasonable hope OF future career and
good livelihood. The study of
music through wind instruments can
bring as much pleasure and proht as
in any other branch and should carry
an appeal to many boys who resent
the long drawn out technique OF
piano or violin
