The Wind Ensemble and Its Repertoire
As part of the mission of The Donald Hunsberger Wind Library, the 1994 hardcover edition (University of Rochester Press) of The Wind Ensemble and Its Repertoire has now been published in a paperback edition. This compendium of research includes "must have" information on the history and execution of the wind ensemble repertoire.
An Annotated Guide to Wind Chamber Music
Wind chamber music has become an important part of the contemporary wind band program during the past half century, and now a most complete reference text has been written to provide any and all necessary information concerning repertoire. Winther lists over 500 works by instrumentation and provides guidance on timings, difficulty level, publisher sources, available recordings and his own insight into rehearsing and programming each individual work. This book will soon be required reading for every wind conductor and performer!
The Duke of Marlborough Fanfare
This delightful Grainger fanfare, entitled The Duke of Marlborough was originally written in March of 1939. The English folk tune is based on a melody sung by Mr. Henry Burstow and is also utilized as a countermelody in the first movement of Lincolnshire Posey. This Hunsberger edition, a warm addition to the Donald Hunsberger Wind Library is faithful to Grainger's intent and clarifies many intricacies. It offers a variety of performance opportunities serving as either an augmented brass ensemble fanfare or as one portion in a collage of shorter Grainger selections.
Under Gypsy Skies
Under Gypsy Skies in six brief movements was co-commissioned and premiered by Charles Geyer and Barbara Butler and the Des Moines Symphony Orchestra. The work is a realization of historic melodic styles and techniques drawn from the music of Liszt, Dvorak, and Brahms. While quotations of orchestral repertoire are used literally, some of the interlude and introductory material was created to be merely stylistic in nature. This version is for two solo trumpets with piano and percussion accompaniment and is scored for studio and recital performances as well as for rehearsal with wind ensemble accompaniment [00-DHM0410 (rental) and 00-DHM0410C (score only for sale)] or full orchestra accompaniment [00-DHM0402 (rental) and 00-DHM0402C (score only for sale)].

The Wind Band in and Around New York Ca. 1830-1950
The rich history and tradition of the American wind band was heavily influenced by the influx of immigrants into the New York area during the 19th and 20th centuries. With their varied cultural backgrounds, building upon their diverse musical experiences and a wide variety of instruments and ensemble instrumentation, the seeds for the contemporary American wind band were planted. The story of the American wind band is revealed in this diverse collection of essays. Fascinating reading for band scholars everywhere!
Seascape, Op. 53
Ruth Gipps was one of the most fascinating women in the music world in England during the 20th century. She was a true pioneer as a composer and performer -- she founded and conducted the Portia Wind Ensemble, a chamber music group comprised entirely of women that provided an important outlet for composers throughout the past fifty years. Seascape is a lovely work for ten players (with Winther's optional double bass addition) that must become part of every wind conductor's repertoire! For Double Woodwind Quintet with Optional String Bass.
My Robin Is to the Greenwood Gone
This delightful early setting by Percy Grainger, using only the first four measures of a popular English song, contains many of the melodic and harmonic twists and turns that we associate with his music of later years. Fred Sturm's new scoring for wind ensemble brilliantly brings to life this Percy Grainger masterwork. (7: 37) This recording is the United States Army Field Band, Donald Hunsberger, guest conductor. Full-length recording available on the CD US Army Field Band, Live at the 2003 Midwest Conference from Mark Custom Recording Services, Inc. www.markcustom.com.
Textures
A unique work that introduces several contemporary compositional techniques including aleatoric and improvisatory material, jazz-inflected writing and an involved chromatic melodic sense, all within highly atmospheric settings. Dedicated to Dr. Donald Hunsberger, Textures was premiered in 1979 by the UCLA Wind Ensemble. Contemporary and exciting!
