Band

With a foreword by Norman Dello Joio, this book is the second in a five-volume series on major contemporary composers and their works for wind band. Included in this volume are rare, behind-the-notes perspectives acquired from personal interviews with each composer. An excellent resource for conductor, composer or enthusiast interested in acquiring a richer musical understanding of the composers' training, compositional approach, musical influences and interpretive style.

Sure to become a wind band classic, this new work by internationally renown composer Warren Benson is a masterpiece of exotic-tonal images. Daughter of the Stars is a sophisticated work for the musically-sensitive ensemble.
