Electric Horizons: Advancing the Wind Band in Modern Art Music A research project by Joseph R. Bozich Introduction The dominance of the Symphony Orchestra in Western Art Music is a fact clear by even the most superficial observation. The best classical performers of today and yesterday have been judged in part by which orchestras they have performed solo with, which large orchestral concertis they have tackled, and which conductors they have collaborated with. For better or worse, "classical" and "orchestral" music are essentially synonymous for a great portion of the population, and the great majority of classical masterworks known to the larger population—the opening of Beethoven's 5th Symphony, the "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's 9th Symphony, the Adagietto from Mahler's 5th Symphony—are (as their names would suggest) symphonic in scope. In recent decades, the Wind Ensemble as a form of high-level music-making, mostly in the music schools of large universities.
