Description

Explore the global history and evolution of brass ensembles with Brass Bands of the World: Militarism, Colonial Legacies, and Local Music Making. Published by Routledge as part of the SOAS Studies in Music series, this volume examines how bands structured around Western wind instruments spread through colonialism, militarism, and missionary work. While these ensembles originated from European military traditions, local musicians have transformed the brass band prototype to suit their own cultural settings. Today, these groups play vital roles in religious processions, funerals, military parades, and various popular music genres across the globe. This collection utilizes ethnographic and archival research to provide a deep look at how these instrumental ensembles function in diverse societies worldwide.
