A pesquisa foi baseada em documentação preservada em vários acervos históricos, sendo principal deles o da própria banda. A partir da análise deste material verificou-se de que maneira a Banda Ítalo-Brasileira/Carlos Gomes foi assimilando as profundas transformações pelas quais passou a sociedade brasileira. Novos hábitos e costumes forçaram a banda a buscar um público que já não a tem como objeto de fruição musical e ela se vê pressionada a mudar o repertório e os espaços de apresentação, abandonando o tradicional coreto da praça. Esta pesquisa revelou dois modelos distintos de banda musical, um baseado nas práticas musicais do século XIX, que se estende aproximadamente até 1950, o período em que era nomeada Ítalo-Brasileira, e outro modelo mais afinado com os séculos XX/XXI, representado pela atual Banda Carlos Gomes / Abstract: This paper aims to recreate the history of the former Italian-Brazilian Band, currently named Carlos Gomes, a wind band founded in the late nineteenth century by Italian immigrants in the city of Campinas, São Paulo, that's still active. The research was based on documentation from several historical archives, especially the band's own historical records. The material's analysis showed how this musical group has assimilated and reflected the deep changes the Brazilian society has undergone throughout this period. Social and cultural changes, with new customs and cultural patterns led the band to seek a new audience and to change its own repertoire and presentation venues, abandoning the traditional city parks bandstands. The research has shown two distinct models of wind band, the first one based on the musical practices and styles of the late nineteenth century that endured until the 1950s, period in which it was called Italian-Brazilian Band, and the second one, more in tune with the twentieth century and the contemporary musical tendencies, represented by the current Carlos Gomes Band / Mestrado / Fundamentos Teoricos / Mestre em Música

The Northern Areas of Port Elizabeth are mostly comprised of the so called “Coloured” community and is vibrant in tradition and musical activities. Community music in the form of marching bands, brigade bands, wind bands and brass bands form a central part of the music activities in this area. The non-availability of music education in schools combined with the multitude of social challenges creates a cultural and moral vacuum. Children are not exposed to the finer arts and music in particular and without these bands and groups probably never will. This study will explore five community bands/groups and the role they play in the lives of people and especially the children and the youth. The impact and influence music has on the social upliftment of under-privileged children in this area has never been studied. The study shows the big impact these bands/groups have on the children and the communities they serve and highlights the dedication and good work of those band managers working with these groups. The study concludes with a proposal that an art/music centre be established in the Northern Areas of Port Elizabeth.

Wind bands have been recording for over one hundred years. Through advancements in both technology and process, recordings have made a monumental impact on the wind band and its repertoire. These advancements have created clarity regarding the performance practice of pieces and helped to preserve the wind band repertoire. Many early works have gained masterwork status due, in large part, to the fact that recordings have preserved them. The increase in popularity of recording and, in particular, the wind band, warrants an investigation into the various aspects of the process. Additionally, gaining insight from wind band professionals who record will help to evaluate the contributions that recording has made to the education of performers and listeners, the preservation of repertoire and the artistic enhancement of the wind band. Each chapter explores aspects of the recording process and how those aspects have shaped the wind band, its repertoire and performance practice. Information from conductors, composers and engineers provide valuable insight pertaining to the educational, historical and artistic components of the recording process. The goal of all involved in the recording process should be the pursuit of technical perfection, which does not eclipse the ultimate musical goals of the project and the integrity of the composer's intentions.

The purpose of this study was to determine changes necessary to cause Texas public school band programs to conform to a recommended standard.

Comparatively little literature has been written about the wind-band as a musical institution.1 still less has been recorded regarding the integrative social potenti- alities of the wind-band in American musical life--especi- ally for the horden of "Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen" who constitute the back-bone of our Nation's communities. Specialized and localized efforts are being made throughout the country toward making musical life a definite part of community life. General observation tends to leave us believing that strides in this direction are just beginning and that the impetus will increase.

The purpose of this study is to create a curriculum for beginning instrumentalists who have no background in music and are young students not yet capable of deciphering highly technical and academic sentences, phrases, and terms. This method is designed to give the student a foundation in theory without taking undue time from the instrumental phase of the curriculum and at the same time to increase the tempo of training in both phases.

The problem undertaken in this study is to attempt to determine the adequacy of financial support received by the small high school bands in Texas.

The purpose of this thesis is to acquaint future band and orchestra directors with a successful, thoroughly "tried and tested" plan of building an instrumental program within the music department. This thesis presents the technique of instrumentating the senior high school band by planning an instrumental program from the first grade to the time the band student reaches the senior high school level.
