The lineage of British wind band composers makes fascinating reading: Ralph
Vaughan Williams taught Gordon Jacob, who taught Joseph Horovitz, who taught
Martin Ellerby. For over eighty years the skills and experience of the finest composers
of the land have been passed through each generation to the present day. Jacob played
a significant role in the development and heritage of British wind band music; his
music is as fresh today as it was when it was first premiered. Without his music we, as
musicians, would be the poorer.
