The Inevitable Bandstand
In the hands of the state, music is a political tool. The Banda de Música del Estado de Oaxaca (State Band of Oaxaca, BME), a civil organization nearly as old as the modern state of Oaxaca itself, offers unique insights into the history of a modern political state. In The Inevitable Bandstand, Charles V. Heath examines the BME's role as a part of popular political culture that the state of Oaxaca has deployed in an attempt to bring unity and order to its domain. The BME has always served multiple functions: it arose from musical groups that accompanied military forces as they trained and fought; today it performs at village patron saint days and at Mexico's patriotic celebrations, propagati...

Free Speech Beyond Words
A look at First Amendment coverage of music, non-representational art, and nonsense The Supreme Court has unanimously held that Jackson Pollock’s paintings, Arnold Schöenberg’s music, and Lewis Carroll’s poem “Jabberwocky” are “unquestionably shielded” by the First Amendment.

As a legal matter, the Court’s conclusion is clearly correct, but its premises are murky, and they raise difficult questions about the possibilities an...
Brass Bands of the British Isles 1800-2018 - a historical directory
Of the many brass bands that have flourished in Britain and Ireland over the last 200 years very few have documented records covering their history.

A separate work is in preparation covering brass bands beyond the British Isles. A separate appendix lists the brass bands in each county

Symphoria: The Orchestra of Central New York
Symphoria, known as the Orchestra of Central New York, is one of only two musician-governed orchestras in the United States. Founded in 2012, Symphoria was created by the musicians who were disbanded when the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra went bankrupt just as it was celebrating its 50th anniversary. Over 100 years after the founding of the very first symphony orchestra in Central New York in 1921, Symphoria celebrates a new model, more modest in scope but equally ambitious in purpose: to contribute to a diverse, vibrant, equitable, and culturally rich Central New York community through the power of great music.
