Customer Reviews

Excellent source for pre 1980's music.

Short and to the point - if you need program notes for standard concert band repertoire this is the book for you. Also highly recommended: Professor Smith's companion book "March Music Notes" which contains much better and more extensive biographical material on many of the same composers (and others). I provide concrt commentary for 15-30 events each year in the Boston area and professor Smith's books are my primary source.
