Through Dr. Hansen's The American Wind Band: A Cultural History, I was surprised and delighted to discover a far richer tapestry of music history in America than what I previously had known. I was especially enthralled with the ways in which wind bands and symphony orchestras selected and programmed music to serve the `perceived' differences in their audiences throughout our history. This book is an outstanding source of useful information for music historians, wind and string orchestra conductors, music programming board members and composers and arrangers of wind music.- Richard J. Chandler, composer
