ABSTRACT
This study catalogues symphonies for wind band from the origin of the genre in
the late eighteenth century through 2014. Wind bands include any mixed wind group of
eight or more players. Works using the word “symphony” or its derivatives in the title
are included in the study. A total of 1342 works that fit these criteria were identified. An
works. Such information was not available for an additional 621 wind band symphonies;
consequently, these works are listed in a second appendix that includes a list of sources
for each work so that future researchers might investigate them further. The final
appendix lists 26 wind band symphonies that are no longer available based on the
The titles included in this study were found by examining many repertoire
resources for the wind band, including previous studies of wind band symphonies and
more comprehensive repertoire resources like the Heritage Encyclopedia of Band Music
and the website “The Wind Repertory Project.” Details of each piece in the annotated
bibliography were found in their scores whenever possible. Contact with composers and
publishers, through both their websites and direct correspondence, played a major role in
this part of the study. The classified bibliography in this document sorts all of these
sources categorically for easy reference. All parts of this document are intended as tools

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This project could not have happened without a very broad network of interest
and support.
First, I must thank the army of composers, composer family members, publishers,
archivists, and librarians who provided me with otherwise elusive information. Special
thanks goes to Johan de Meij, whose 25th anniversary Lord of the Rings edition helped
inspire this project, and whose knowledge of other European composers and researchers
gave direction to its early stages. Composer-scholars David Whitwell and Edward Green
also provided crucial early guidance that helped this project take shape. Two librarians
Performing Arts and Dominic Talanca at the University of North Texas band library. My
This thesis also benefited from a strong home team at Arizona State. My
committee members have been extremely patient with this process and giving of their
time and talents. I must especially thank Gary W. Hill for believing in this project’s
viability and sharing my vision for its potential from the very beginning. Thanks also to
the wonderful ASU music library team who flawlessly shepherded hundreds of
Interlibrary Loan requests into my hands and oversaw many new acquisitions for this
project.

It was once the case that the term “symphony” was easy to define. Around 1775
for an orchestra of bowed strings with some number of winds added.1 Generally, the first
movement was an allegro in sonata form, followed by a slow second movement, a third
movement in a dance tempo (generally a minuet or, later, a scherzo), and a closing
allegro in rondo or sonata form. Similarly proportioned works for winds alone existed,
but they were called partitas.2 Thus, the genre of the symphony reached its early maturity
In France, the French Revolution changed the course of the symphony’s future.
In throwing off their monarchical yoke, the French people began to eschew all trappings
of the elite, including the orchestras and oboe bands kept and cultivated by the kings.
These were replaced with large military bands of woodwinds (dominated by clarinets),
Gossec (1734-1829), and Louis Jadin (1768-1853) wrote works that they called
“symphony” for these groups. These works resembled the earlier sinfonia genre, one of

older, shorter forms of the sinfonia. The wind band symphony in France continued its
association with the French revolutionary spirit through the first half of the nineteenth
century. Both Anton Reicha (1770-1836) and Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) wrote larger
scale symphonies for winds to commemorate revolutionary events in 1815 and 1840,
respectively.
Elsewhere during the nineteenth century, other wind band symphonies appeared
that were not linked to political movements. By 1800, a type of wind band called
harmonie was popular throughout the German-speaking world. This ensemble, generally
including pairs of oboes, clarinets, bassoons, and horns, was the ubiquitous jukebox of its
day.5 Composers who succeeded in writing a popular orchestral work or opera often had
to rush to get the compact harmonie version out onto the streets before someone else
could beat them to it (and the resultant profits).6 They often paid others to do this, as
Mozart did Josef Triebensee for several of his opera overtures. On rare occasions, the
composer prepared the arrangement himself, as Beethoven did with his Symphony no. 7,
creating his own harmonie version of his orchestral epic in 1816. It is important to note
that he retained the “symphony” in the title, rather than renaming it a partita. Meanwhile,

Donizetti, Beethoven, and Berlioz may have lent their famous names to the wind
band symphony, but they each contributed only a bare minimum of works that did not
inspire similar works from those in their circles. By contrast, as is demonstrated by the
number of works of this sort that appear in this study, a version of the wind band
unification) in the 1860s, new civic bands appeared throughout the country.7 Largely
forgotten bandleaders and composers wrote hundreds of original pieces for these bands,
including dozens of sinfonias that hewed closely to the form of their eighteenth century
orchestral ancestor, as can be seen by examining the Italian works from this period that
are included in this study. Many of these exist only in manuscript form, having never
been published for use outside of their “home” band. The nineteenth century ended with

sounding together, and used the plural to indicate that the music is made up of several of
tributes and imitations, many of which reused the title or the instrumentation (e.g., works
by Ernst Krenek [1900-1991] and Ton de Leeuw [1926-1996]). Those who did not
directly imitate Stravinsky borrowed his broader idea of an independent wind work for
As can be seen by examining the works in this study, no symphonies for large
wind bands are known to have been written outside of Italy from the 1840s until the
1920s. In 1926, Paul Fauchet (1881-1937) wrote his Symphonie pour musique
d’harmonie for the French Garde Républicaine Band. James Gillette (1886-1963) and
Frank Campbell-Watson (1898-1980) arranged this work for use by American bands.
Gillette also wrote several wind band symphonies of his own (which are no longer in
print) by 1933. As the 1930s progressed, symphonies for large wind bands appeared in
several countries: Ernest Williams (1881-1947) in Brooklyn, New York produced the
Symphony no. 1 in C minor for the school that bore his name in 1938; Nikolai
Miaskovsky (1881-1950) wrote his Symphony no. 19 in E-flat, the first known Russian
wind band symphony, in 1939; the same year saw Fré Focke (1910-1989) in the
Netherlands writing his Symphonietta no. 2 for Large Wind Orchestra and Harald

only a handful of large wind band symphonies appeared, including American H. Owen
Reed’s (1910-2013) La Fiesta Mexicana: A Mexican Folk Song Symphony for Band, and
Franz Reinl’s (1903-1977) Heldische Sinfonie was published in 1942. These few,
isolated efforts of the early twentieth century gave way to the first flowering of the genre
outside of Italy in the 1950s. During this decade, many established composers, including
(1913-1996) wrote symphonies for large wind bands. Frank Erickson (born 1923) wrote
his first two symphonies and a Symphonette for Band during this period.
Kozhevnikov, Erickson, and Gillette were among the first symphonists for wind
band in the twentieth century. They all wrote several symphonies for various
combinations of winds over a long period of time. Their example has been followed by
several other prolific composers of wind band symphonies from around the world,
including Americans Kimberly Archer (born 1973), James Barnes (born 1949), Will Gay
Bottje (born 1925), Andrew Boysen (born 1968), Timothy Broege (born 1947), James
David (born 1978), Julie Giroux (born 1961), Walter Hartley (born 1927), James Hopkins
(born 1939), Alan Hovhaness (1911-2000), Robert Jager (born 1939), David Maslanka
(born 1943), Alfred Reed (1921-2005), Robert W. Smith (born 1958), Carl Vollrath (born

1966), Andrés Valero-Castells (born 1973), and Antón Alcalde-Rodriguez (born 1992).
The majority of these people are still living and working as of this writing. As will be
demonstrated by the annotated bibliography below (Appendix A), the works of these
composers are just one part of the living and growing tradition of the wind band
symphony today.
With wind band symphonies again proliferating at the hands of active and
respected composers, as demonstrated by the list above and the numerous titles included
in this document by other living composers, the time is right for a comprehensive
accounting of these works. This investigation represents an attempt to find and catalog as
many extant symphonies for wind band as current resources permit and, subsequently, to
present some basic information about them. Such a catalog could serve as a
programming guide for conductors of wind bands wishing to study and play symphonies.
By including works for all sizes of wind band, from eight players to the largest
symphonic band works, this catalog may also motivate conductors to seek more regular
Three authors have previously catalogued symphonies for wind band: Leon Bly in
1973, Timothy Running in 1991, and Francis Pieters in 2013. Bly’s annotated
bibliography set the precedent for Running and Pieters.9 Listing significant symphonies
for winds written since 1900, Bly included 53 works with basic information, such as title,
composer name and dates, composition date, duration, difficulty level, instrumentation,
on twentieth century works, Bly omitted several important earlier works. Eighteen years
later, Running expanded the scope of Bly’s work, listing the same information for an
additional 59 works plus a lengthy commentary and analysis of each one, including
works before 1900.10 He also re-listed the titles included in Bly’s study, amounting to a
total of 112 works covered. Running did not list symphonies for chamber groups or
exclusively brass or woodwind ensembles, nor did he include works titled “symphony”
that did not include contrasting tempo sections, both of which limited the scope of his
project. His study was further limited by the accessibility of scores and composers in the
United States before the emergence of the Internet as an important information and
communication tool. Pieters’s article appeared in 2013 as front matter in a new edition of
Johan de Meij’s Symphony no. 1: The Lord of the Rings.11 Within the narrative form of
his article, Pieters listed several composers and the titles of their symphonies, with few
other details. However, he covered a much broader section of repertoire than Bly or
Running, listing composers from several different countries around the world and their

I. TITLE AND FORM. In order to be included in the study the title or subtitle of
a symphony in program notes or correspondence with the author, those works were also
considered. Beyond this, no investigation was made into the form of these works: they
are included simply by virtue of their titles. Works labeled “Symphonic” were not
considered due to the fact that “symphonic,” being an adjective, always modifies another
form (e.g., symphonic dances, symphonic fantasy, symphonic prelude), which implies a
II. SIZE OF ENSEMBLE. Owing to the desire to keep this study relevant to
conductors and conducted ensembles, works using fewer than eight players were not
considered. There is no upper limit on the size of the ensembles called for in the works
cataloged here.
III. INSTRUMENTS USED. This is a study of symphonies for wind band. The
term “wind band” is intended to mean a group of mostly wind instruments from mixed
families. Winds must make up the core of the group. Percussion instruments of any kind
are also allowed, but they may not make up more than half of the ensemble, as judged by
the number of players required. Some string instruments are also permissible: many wind
bands include one or several string basses, as well as sometimes a section of cellos, but
9
the inclusion of sections of violins and violas constitutes an orchestra. Works with solo
strings have been included. Chamber works (fewer than twenty players) that include a
standard string quartet amidst a group of winds have not been considered. By including a
string quartet, the author submits that these works have a fundamentally orchestral
Works that include a choir of any size or structure with a wind band are included
in the catalog. In these cases, the core instrumental group is still a wind band even when
the choir is present. The choir functions much like a soloist, being a separate, guest
entity that prepares separately and joins the instrumental group at the end of the rehearsal
process. Additionally, many choir parts in the works cataloged are optional. Thus, while
these works do have some special demands, they are considered wind band symphonies
This study is geared towards the wind band tradition, so it does not include works
for brass band or fanfare band,12 both of which represent distinct musical ensembles with
their own distinct repertoire. Finally, works for single-instrument or homogenous family
groups such as flute ensemble or trombone choir have not been considered. However,
works for mixed brass ensemble or a mixed group of woodwinds are represented here.
symphonies that were originally written for wind band. Transcriptions of symphonies
12
Fanfare bands consist of brass, saxophones, and percussion. They are most common in
Belgium and the Netherlands. For an example, see Eric Swiggers, Astro Suite

10
originally conceived for other ensembles like orchestra or brass band were not
considered, unless the transcription was completed by the composer of the original work.
For example, James Curnow’s (born 1943) transcription of Dvorak’s New World
Symphony does not appear in the catalog, but Derek Bourgeois’s 2006 wind band version
of his own Symphony no. 16: Songs of Mallorca, originally written for orchestra in 2004,
does. In rare cases, the only extant version of a wind band symphony was orchestrated
by someone other than the composer. This is the case with Serge Lancen’s Manhattan
Dondeyne. Since no other versions of these pieces exist, they are considered original and
titles, only those titles for which information on movement titles and instrumentation
could be found are included in the main catalog. Others for which such information was
unattainable after all search methods had been exhausted (see “Sources and Methods of
which the only extant or available score is incomplete is not included in the catalog. In
some cases, it was clear that a work was simply a collection or rearrangement of popular
melodies. As a result, these works were not included in the study, despite being called
symphonies. Additionally, single-movement wind works that are part of larger orchestral
symphonies, like Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Scherzo Alla Marcia, were not considered.
Finally, a handful of wind band symphonies have been withdrawn, lost, or re-titled so
that they are no longer called “symphony.” These are listed in Appendix C.
11
Sources and Methods of Collecting Information
This study proceeded in three main phases. The first was a general search for
titles that fit the abovementioned parameters. The works listed in the Bly and Running
studies were used as a starting point. They were supplemented with titles culled from
several repertoire compilations, most of which were not available when Bly or Running
were doing their work. The Internet and web-based search methods played a major role
in this initial phase. The most comprehensive website for wind band repertoire is the

depth on each piece. The National Orchestra Discography Pages, prepared by Michael

works and they list symphonies for each composer regardless of whether or not a
recording exists. Printed repertoire collections also contributed to the title count in this
study. The Teaching Music through Performance in Band series has extensive articles on

several symphonies.16 Felix Hauswirth’s collections of repertoire for both grades 2-3 and

Italian composer, including the numerous civic band works that are only known in
manuscript form in one provincial library.19 Wolfgang Suppan’s Neue Lexikon of band
music is its German-language equivalent, taking the broader approach of cataloguing the
band music of the world.20 While other books and online sources were consulted during
this phase, the resources mentioned above provided the foundation for the titles found in
the study.
This initial phase revealed the true magnitude of this study, as nearly 1400 titles
of potential wind band symphonies were found. With this knowledge, the second phase
involved determining the information to be sought for each piece. It was always the
author’s intention to go well beyond listing titles. However, the inclusion of detailed,
analytical annotations for each work is beyond the scope of this study. The focus of the

annotations, then, is on information relevant to conductors perusing this body of
compositions. These include the nationality and dates of the composer; the date of
composition and revision where applicable; names of any movements; the duration of the
instruments required; the difficulty level of the piece, expressed as a grade; information
on every known publication of the piece; information about its premiere; and any other
awards the piece may have won. Unlike previous studies, this investigation includes
detailed percussion information. While most publishers and many repertoire collections
see fit to simply list the number of percussion parts required, the author submits that more
precise details, including instruments called for and how many players are required, may
Having established the information needed, the third phase of the study involved
finding the requisite details for each of the titles discovered and, subsequently,
determining which pieces needed to be eliminated from the main annotated bibliography
due to lack of information or because they fell outside of the parameters set forth above.
Every effort was made to locate and look at a score for each piece. Often this was done
with a published physical score, aided by visits to three American universities with large
and historic band libraries (Arizona State University, University of Texas, University of
North Texas) and liberal use of the Interlibrary Loan system. Extensive research also
took place in the Library of Congress and the Performing Arts Division of the New York
14
Public Library.21 In addition, several composer and publisher websites proved
indispensible during this phase of the investigation. Numerous living composers, John
Mackey (born 1973) and David Maslanka among them, have easily navigable websites
that provide extensive information about their music, often including a preview of the full
score and a full-length recording.22 Several publishers offer the same accessibility to the
music of their many composer clients, notably De Haske, Hafabra, and Molenaar, among
others.23 When neither scores nor websites answered all of the important questions,
emails were sent to publishers, composers, and libraries. In addition, Google searches
often revealed secondary sources for otherwise orphaned titles. Finally, deeper
knowledge about several symphonies was found in dissertations, journals, and other
published scholarship.

CHAPTER 3
CONCLUSIONS
This study, with its annotated bibliography containing nearly 700 works by
composers from six continents, demonstrates the symphony’s durable and wide appeal as
a vehicle for the wind band. It also demonstrates that composers have an enduring
This study also shows that conductors today are willing to perform original
symphonies with their bands with some regularity. This represents a large shift in
priorities in band programming from the early twentieth century. In 1938, Richard
wrote that “most of the music played by bands is transcribed from orchestral or
pianoforte music. … The band’s own repertory, of works written specifically for it, is not
even a drop in the bucket by comparison.”24 He went on to list dozens of original works
and popular transcriptions for band, including only one original symphony (by Ernest
Williams).25 Programs from this era show numerous small works, mostly orchestral
transcriptions, featured on most concerts.26 Since then, groups like the American
Bandmasters Association (ABA, founded 1929) and the College Band Directors National
Association (CBDNA, founded 1941) have been active developing and promoting new
original repertoire.27 The CBDNA 38th National Conference program from 2015 lists

concert repertoire for all nine of the large bands that performed there, which shows a
sharp change in programming practices from Goldman’s day.28 Of these ensembles, two
groups performed a total of four original wind band symphonies (two each). Five
additional groups each performed at least one large, original, multi-movement work for
Corresponding to this trend toward original works, this study shows the extent to which
composers have been able and willing to contribute to this increased demand for
this study demonstrates that wind band symphonies are concentrated in highest difficulty
levels. As a result, relatively few wind band symphonies are suitable for younger or
amateur players, while the field of such works available for top-level players is saturated.
This presents both a challenge and an opportunity for today’s composers. A composer
who would write a symphony at grade 2 or 3 might find a wide, welcoming market for
this new work. A new grade 6 work, however, would join a long list of similar works,
and might have trouble entering and remaining in the repertoire without strong advocates
This study also demonstrates the dynamic nature of the wind band symphony
repertoire. Since Running’s study was completed in 1991, hundreds of new wind band
symphonies have been written. Meanwhile, some of the works in that study have faded

from prominence: they are not in print or have not been performed in years. While the
present study shows the extent to which the repertoire has changed, this study and
Running’s are both static, like any other print source, representing a single moment in the
history of the genre. By contrast, many Internet sources consulted for this study take a
dynamic approach to repertoire, updating regularly as new pieces are written and
discovered. Some of these websites, particulary “The Wind Repertory Project” and those
of the composers and publishers mentioned above, allow for easy comparison and
categorization of works. These websites are a useful tool for conductors making
programming decisions. Presently, no such dynamic resource for wind band symphonies
exists. Conductors who wish to program a symphony appropriate for their ensemble
often must wade through several different sources in order to find and compare
information. To help remedy this problem, this author intends to create a website, to be
hosted at windsymphonies.org, that will contain all of the information in this study. This
information about any symphony. This website will be open to contributions from
anyone, allowing composers, conductors, and other researchers to add information about
new or existing wind band symphonies. In addition to being a resource for conductors,
this website will allow the author and others to continuously refine and build upon the
The creation of the website dedicated to the information in this study may reduce
the need to replicate this study. However, there is much potential for related
investigations. Information about many of the works in this study, particularly those
18
listed in Appendix B, remains incomplete, so future research could focus on investigating
these missing details. In particular, late nineteenth century Italian sinfonia provide fertile
ground for future research; such an investigation would, at present, require travel to the
many municipal libraries scattered throughout Italy. Studies of other national or regional
wind band symphony repertoires would also be a viable topic. Many composers have
written more than one wind band symphony; consequently, research could comprise
composers have re-orchestrated their own orchestral symphonies for wind band.
Investigating their motivations for doing so or their process used in the creation of the
new version could make for fascinating study. Future studies might also examine with
more depth individual works included in this catalog. Finally, the forces that have
motivated composers past and present to write symphonies for wind band are beyond the
scope of this study and have not been investigated with any depth elsewhere. This topic

There are two primary types of ensembles represented in this study: Band and
Wind Ensemble. A Wind Ensemble uses a specific instrumentation, usually one per part,
and thus a defined and limited number of players. A Band doubles parts liberally and
flexibly, and thus can accommodate any number of extra players. Composers are
generally very clear about which of these ensembles they have written for, and that
distinction is preserved in the annotations. Pieces labeled for Chamber Ensemble are
wind ensembles with fewer than twenty instruments. Other types of ensembles
represented in this study include Brass Ensemble, Woodwind Ensemble, and Brass and
indicated, these follow the Wind Ensemble assumption of one player per part. Soloists or
guest ensembles like brass quintet or mixed choir are listed before the wind band.
The instrumentation listings in this study use the standard orchestral numberings,
as follows:
Periods separate instruments in the same family. A dash separates families, which
Woodwinds-saxophones-brass-percussion-keyboards-strings

Abbreviations used to describe instruments in this system are listed below (see p.
25). Saxophones, percussion, keyboards, and strings are always listed using these
abbreviations.
saxophone, single brass, timpani, and string bass would be listed as follows:
2.2.2.2-ax-1.1.1.1-timp-db
abbreviations after the primary instrument in their family. Thus, piccolo is listed after
flute, and flugelhorn is listed after trumpet. Alto, tenor, and baritone horns, as well as
euphonium, are listed before tubas. If these instruments have distinct parts, they are
separate English horn part, three clarinets, a separate bass clarinet part, and two bassoons.
Parts in which a player is responsible for more than one instrument are indicated
in parentheses with a roman numeral showing the part number when applicable with an
equals sign connecting it to the second instrument or instruments called for, as follows:
with the second doubling English horn, three clarinets, and two bassoons with the second
doubling contrabassoon.
The number in each place represents the number of separate parts for that
required to cover those parts. Thus, 2(4) means two parts that require four total players.
Pieces for “Band” may use any number of players beyond the number of parts or the
23
required number of players indicated. Pieces for “Wind Ensemble” use only the number
of players indicated.
For percussion instruments, separate parts labeled for separate instruments appear
distinctly, while several instruments that are grouped together in parts labeled
“Percussion” or “Mallets” are listed as “perc.” The number before “perc” indicates the
number of published parts, and any number in parentheses afterwards indicates the
number of players needed to cover all of those parts. “Perc” designations are followed by
a list of instruments required for the whole of all of those parts in square brackets.
Used with the repertoire in this study, the system described above provides a
succinct summary of any piece’s instrumentation. For example, the Symphony no. 2 by
timp.2perc(6)[vib.chi.xyl.bl.gong.cym.bd.sd.rtc.scym]
The “Band” designation indicates that any parts can be doubled at will. The
numbers show that there is one flute part requiring eight players, two oboe parts, an
English horn part, four clarinet parts that require a total of eight players, as well as single,
separate parts for e-flat, alto, bass, contra-alto, and contrabass clarinets. In addition, two
bassoons are required, plus a saxophone quartet of two altos, one tenor, and one baritone.
The brass section calls for four horns, four trumpets, four trombones, a single baritone
horn part that requires two players, and a similar single tuba part needing two tubists.
The separate timpani part is accompanied by two percussion parts, which actually require
six players to cover. They use the following instruments: vibraphone, chimes,

resonant situations, of any dynamics, by listening to the whole sound and contributing
what is most needed. If performance is not working, seek unities--such as returning to
the pulse, or doubling up or overlapping on a particular motive or two. Pulse can include
an off-beat and other ornamentations."
