This is the reference directors consult when they need to understand the history, context, and performance considerations behind the wind ensemble repertoire they're conducting. Cipolla's research-based approach gives you confidence in your programming choices and reveals connections across works and composers that enrich rehearsal conversations with your ensemble.

Keep this on your desk as a reference when selecting repertoire for concerts or festivals. Use it to inform program notes that educate your audience and ensemble about the works you're rehearsing, strengthening the musical context around performances.
