It provides an overview of the history of brass instruments, and their technical and musical development. Although the greatest part of the volume is devoted to the western art music tradition, with chapters covering topics from the medieval to the contemporary periods, there are important contributions on the ancient world, non-western music, vernacular and popular traditions and the rise of jazz. Despite the breadth of its narrative, the book is rich in detail, with an extensive glossary and bibliography. The editors are two of the most respected names in the world of brass performance and scholarship, and the list of contributors includes the names of many of the world's most prestigious scholars and performers on brass instruments. 410 0$aCambridge companions to music. 606 $aBrass instruments 615 0$aBrass instruments. 676 $a788.9 702 $aHerbert$b Trevor 702 $aWallace$b John$f1949- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996210333003316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to brass instruments$92580153 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
