"Throughout the 19th century, bands existed by the thousands and a single book could never be written that
would do justice to every one of them, nor make known the contribution of every bandleader of the period.
The purpose of this book is to show, using a representative sampling of the bands that existed throughout the
century, how bands in America originated, grew to popularity, and adapted to the ever-changing tastes of the
people... By illustrating the camaraderie bandsmen shared among themselves, impressions the influence their
wonderful music had on an emerging nation, the bands, leaders, and bandsmen of the 19th century can take
their rightful place at the forefront of our nation's history." ...Brian F. Smith, Bandstands to Battlefields

kind, as these instruments were used in horse-drawn coach and steamship travel, religious services and civic ceremonies, for hunting and horse racing,
by firefighters, athletic and bicycle clubs, and in military settings. By 1832, the posthorn was no longer simply a signaling instrument, but also functioned
as a significant melodic instrument, [performing] folk music, national airs, and popular songs. By employing posthorns or imitating their basic stylistic
intervals and rhythms, [composers] effectively completed the musical transformation of the posthorn from a basic signal horn echoing through the
countryside, into an instrument of art music appreciated in the concert hall."
If you like bugle calls or historic brasses/natural trumpet music, you will really enjoy this recording. If you're not sure, listen to
the sound files to whet your appetite!
