    Wind Instruments What has made YAMAHA the number one musical instrument manufacturer in the world? Continuous R&D We are the only instrument maker who maintains a complete staff of experienced, fulltime designers for each individual wind instrument. And we station part of that staff in Europe, North America, as well as Japan to maintain constant communication with many of the greatest musicians now performing. The ideas and insights we receive from the masters are relayed back to our design center, where they are incorporated into every instrument we make. Manufacturing Quality We make most of the individual components for our woodwind and brass instruments with cutting-edge, computerized technology for perfect tolerances and incredible consistency. But many visitors to our factories are surprised to see the large degree of age-old, traditional methods used to hand assemble all our wind instruments— from professional models down to the most inexpensive student instruments. Crafted With Care Skilled, experienced artisans adjust and test each instrument by hand—and do so with a passion and care seldom seen anymore. Many of them are musicians themselves; they joined Yamaha because of their love for music. Producing the world’s finest musical instruments is more than just a job for them; it is a calling, and a challenge they meet with pride. Yamaha Wind Instrument History In 1887, Torakusu Yamaha began producing reed organs in Hamamatsu, in central Japan. He later founded a company called Nippon Gakki (Musical Instruments of Japan). Around the same time, a Tokyo boilermaker began making bugles and established a wind instrument company named Nippon Kangakki (Japanese Wind Instruments).

    1 Preface - 2 Introduction - 3 History & Psychology of the March - 5 Chapter I - Origins Influence - 5 Chapter II - Psychology of the March - 17 Diversification & Mechanics of the March - 21 Chapter III - Cultural Relationships - 21 Conclusion - 39 Louisiana Brass Band & History in Relation to Jazz History - 43 Military Spirituals - 55 2 PREFACE With the many musical histories that have been written in the English language, relatively little work has been done on the subject of the wind band and its most important musical form, the march. Evidence of this scholarly oversight was revealed in the course of researching this paper, when no one book could be found which contained a complete history of the march; moreover, books written on related subjects often gave but a limited number of references to the march in their indexes. Feeling that the history of such an important musical form would be of value to both students and teachers alike, this book was written in an attempt to shed existing light on the subject. Subsequent to this objective, it was hoped that this book might stimulate still more scholarly investigation of the march so that future researchers would not be bound by quantitative--if not also qualitative--insufficiencies. In researching the subject, sources other than music books were used. Such additional sources included: books on world history, on military strategy, and on the dance; pictures, vases, and reliefs on cave walls; in short, anything which provided information about beginnings, growth, and up-to-date developments in this history of the march. The musical characteristics of the different centuries provided still further information through as exploration of forms written ostensibly for the march itself, as well as of forms to which the process of marching became adapted.
