Exemplary Recordings of Wind Band Instruments

As recommended by applied music professors in Michigan

Exemplary Recordings of Wind Band Instruments Edward Schoendorff, Manchester MI [email protected] The purpose of this work is to compile recordings of wind and percussion instruments that are recognized as benchmark examples by the applied music professors of the major schools of music in Michigan. In today’s world, it seems that fewer young wind and percussion students have the time, money or opportunity to study their instrument privately. While not nearly a substitute for private instruction, a good recording can at the very least serve as a model for the young wind or percussion student. Recordings are also an indispensable supplement to any private studio and will help students as they develop a mature sense of characteristic sound and musicality as applied to their specific instrument. In order to facilitate this compilation, I sent a request to the applied wind and percussion professors at the major schools of music in Michigan: the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Western Michigan University, Central Michigan University and Eastern Michigan University. Also included was the Interlochen Arts Academy. The original request and intent was as follows: Dear Prof , My name is Edward Schoendorff and I am the Director of Bands at Manchester Middle School. I graduated from Western Michigan University in 1998 and have been teaching in Manchester ever since. Because Manchester is such a small rural community, private lessons for band students are very hard to come by. Most of the students are stretched in 100 different directions and do all they can just to make sure that they practice. The problem that I am running into is that, even though they practice, they still need a reference point of some sort… they need to know what their instrument is supposed to sound like. This is where I need your help. I would like to compile a list of “must have” CD recordings for all the instruments in the modern wind band. I am hoping for recordings that really exemplify an instrument’s qualities (both accompanied and unaccompanied) and can be used as references for students. Another way to think of this is: what recordings do you wish that your current studio students would have been familiar with since back when they were in junior high school? If you would like to participate in this project, please email me your top 3 or so choices for recordings. It would also be helpful to know the record labels and any other pertinent information so that these recordings can be made as accessible as possible. I intend to compile the list, based on the most often recommended recordings (if you feel particularly strong about a certain recording, please make a note of that for me), acknowledge all the artists that contributed, and possibly publish the list or, at the very least, make it available to members of organizations such as MSBOA (Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association). Thank you in advance for your time and insight. Musically yours, Edward Schoendorff

Hints for using this resource… •

Due to the inconsistent cataloging nature of the recording industry, as well as the fact that recordings are often re-released as record companies are bought and sold, the notation for these recordings deviates somewhat from the accepted Chicago Manual of Style. In cases where some details were unavailable, the most relevant and accessible information has been included (CD Universe product numbers and ASIN or Amazon Standard Identification Numbers as examples). In many cases, it is easiest to find the recordings listed by simply typing in the ASIN number or the CD Universe part number into the search field on those respective websites.

•

Recordings are listed according to incidences of consensus among recommendations, rather than alphabetically. Recordings at the top of the lists were those that were recommended the most frequently.

•

Aside from demonstrating the virtues of each wind band instrument, this compilation can also serve as a list of the most relevant performers on each wind band instrument in the business today. Many of the recordings are from the past 15 years, so they represent the most up-to-date sounds, styles and musical trends. This is not to deny the validity of previous recordings. There are a number of great “vintage” recordings that should continue to serve young musicians (some of these “vintage” recordings are actually included in this document as re-releases). The scope of this project, however, was to provide students, directors and parents with the most relevant and exemplary recordings of musicians on each wind band instrument as viewed by Michigan applied music professors in 2008-2009, regardless of the date of publication.

•

Each of the named performers would be an appropriate subject for a written project or report. It seems that the number of well-known musicians for each wind instrument is somewhat limited and hopefully this document will expand the awareness of today’s most exemplary performers.

Many of these performers can also be seen in video footage posted on the Internet. In most cases, clips of recitals and even master classes are available for viewing simply by searching the major video resources (YouTube is a prime example) for a performer’s name. The value of this resource cannot be emphasized enough!
