Composers on Composing for Band gives fresh insight
and perspective into the world of music from the
ultimate source of its creativity—the composer.
The composers give personal perspectives on
the creative process, orchestration, commissioning
new works, teaching composition, and the future of
the wind band. Each composer also lists ten works
all band conductors should study and ten composers
whose music speaks to them in especially meaningful ways. Personal life stories and a
comprehensive list of works for band round out each chapter.
Conceived and edited by composer-conductor Mark Camphouse, this unique yet
practical book delves wholeheartedly into the composer’s world. This book contributes
to a strengthening of the band profession through more thoughtful interpretations and
more musically sensitive performances.

Composers on Composing for Band, Volume Two, picks up where volume one left off,
opening the door to the creative genius of ten more composers at the top of their field.
A valuable resource for directors at all levels, each chapter is dedicated to the
experiences and works of a single composer, culminating with a complete list of repertoire
by grade level. In a format that is consistent throughout, composers discuss their
earliest experiences in music and their thoughts on the creative process; the approach to
orchestration, conducting, and score study; the relationship between the composer and
the commissioner; how to work with young composers; influential mentors, works, and
composers; and the future of the wind band.
