Musical entertainment played by military musicians, whether aimed at the local populace or the rank-and-file soldier, is typically a tool of soft power, designed variously to enforce a sense of authority, discipline and order, to allay suspicion and hostility, or to boost morale and solidarity in situations of tension and conflict. But for our purposes here, we will concentrate specifically on those performances that can be described as formal entertainment - music to accompany dinners and dances, and concert performances of one kind or another. The regimental band became a routine feature of the British army in the late eighteenth century.

" Now, instead of going on denying that we are an unmusical nation, let us do our utmost to prove that we are a musical nation."—SIR ALEX. MACKENZIE. " A History of British Military Music is much needed." So said the Musical Times some six or seven years ago and to-day, when military music and military bands are so much discussed, a work of this kind appears to be urgently called for. This volume, however, makes no pretence whatever to supply the want, but merely claims to be a history of one of the famous bands in the service, that of the Royal Artillery. The records of this band date as far back as 1762, when it was formed, and I doubt if there is another band in the army with a continuous history for so long a period.

  • AMERICAN CLASSICS JOHN PHILIP SOUSA Music for Wind Band
    559093 Sousa bk US 13/11/2003 9:55 am Page 4 The Royal Artillery Band The Royal Artilllery Band had their ‘drum and fife’ as long ago as 1557, but it was the need for a ‘band of musik’ AMERICAN CLASSICS in the regiment that led to the formation of the Royal Artillery Band in 1762. Since 1764, the band has been quartered with the Royal Artillery Regiment in Woolwich, in South-east London. Today the band employs over fifty musicians who, in keeping with tradition, must be accomplished on both orchestral and wind band instruments. The band may appear on one day as a symphonic wind band (one of the largest in the British army), the next as a marching unit, and at another time as a full symphony orchestra (England’s oldest established JOHN PHILIP SOUSA symphony orchestra). The current Director of Music is Major Stephen Smith, and the Bandmaster is Warrant Officer Russell Gray. Keith Brion Music for Wind Band • 4 Keith Brion, Music Director of his own New Sousa Band, has appeared as a frequent guest conductor with nearly all of America’s major symphony orchestras and professional bands. His New Sousa Band, established in 1986, is a realisation of his dream to re-create the Sousa Band and once again tour America’s towns and cities. He has toured extensively in the East, Middle West and the Southeastern United States with the New Sousa Band, which had its first overseas tour to Japan in August 1996. For Naxos Keith Brion has undertaken a series of recordings of works by Sousa, and has also recorded collections of music by Percy Grainger, Victor Herbert and Alan The Stars and Stripes Forever Hovhaness.
