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.

Arguments on the hierarchy of the cultivated tradition's values and those of the vernacular tradition emerge in mid-nineteenth century American society. Departures from long established potpourri programming practices whereby the cultivated and vernacular traditions coexist arise in the middle and late twentieth century. Still, wind band conductors adapt and sustain potpourri programming concepts into the twenty-first century, fostering compositions that meld varied traditions. Reasons for these reactions and responses are discussed.
