'Baroque Wind Band and Wind Ensemble Repertoire' is the seventh volume in Dr. David Whitwell's ground breaking thirteen-volume 'History and Literature of the Wind Band and Wind Ensemble' series. This volume is a companion to the third volume in this series, 'The Baroque Wind Band and Wind Ensemble'. Of great significance is the continuation of the church wind ensemble forms of the sixteenth century and the extraordinary multi-movement concert Hautboisten repertoire of the Baroque. The Hautboisten repertoire was a development of the earlier music of the Les Grands Hautbois and directly developed into the Harmoniemusik of the Classical Period. Whitwell's meticulous scholarship reveals the continuous history of the wind ensemble, from its earliest roots to the nineteenth century - an unbroken tradition of wind music that music scholars have never been fully able to appreciate until now.

"This volume includes the story of the transformation of the twelve-member Hautboisten bands into the remarkable Harmoniemusik repertoire of the Classical period. This is the climax of the history of the small band with the greatest composers, including Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert, composing for an ensemble associated with the highest society. At the same time occurs the beginning of the preference for the modern large ensemble, created for an integral role in the political celebrations of the historic French Revolution."--Page 4 of cover.

The book provides a historical survey of the wind band’s music and denotes how historical and cultural developments have influenced it over the course of time. Although the modern wind band developed first in the 19th century, it has its roots in the wind music of ancient times, and music survives that has been composed since the Middle Ages. Therefore, this book covers the music from that time to the present, including the dance music of the Renaissance, the Harmoniemusik of the Classical Period, and the nationalistic music of the Romantic Period, as well as the major wind band repertoire developed after 1900.
