History of wind band : ウィキペディア英語版
History of wind band
The modern wind band, often referred to with distinction as a Wind Ensemble, is a result of the evolutionary process of the past three hundred and fifty years.〔Fennell, Frederick. Time and the Winds. G. LeBlanc Co.〕 The role of a wind instrument player has changed from a minor role in the orchestral setting, to a supportive ceremonial role in military situations, to a key player in an all wind professional performance group. These changes have required instrument makers to improve the quality of their product, and have inspired composers to write for a completely new genre of music.〔
==Military bands==

During the American Revolutionary War, there were many unofficial bands in existence. These bands ranged from small music groups of drums and fifes, to larger bands with many woodwind and brass players. Much like modern military bands, these groups performed largely at ceremonial activities, for political reasons, or for parties. It is interesting to note that many generals had bands, sometimes more than one, yet historians often have a hard time placing them, as there is a distinct lack of documentation that they were anything more than groups of drummers and fifers. However, there are numerous accounts that have surfaced recently through correspondence that indicate there were groups with a wide variety of instrumentation in demand at the time.〔Anderson, Simon V., “The Unofficial Bands of the American Revolution," Music Educators Journal vol. 61, no. 4 (1974)〕 By 1789, when president George Washington went on his grand tour of the United States, the popularity of bands had grown such that in every town he visited, one would greet him.〔Hansen, Richard K, The American Wind Band: A Cultural History, GIA Pub., Chicago, 2005.〕
The 1789 National Guard band in Paris was the first “incontestably modern wind band".〔Goldman, Richard Franko. The Wind Band. Allyn and Bacon, Inc, Boston, 1961.〕 That isn’t to say that there aren’t well-documented wind groups performing before this time, but these were usually small, private, chamber groups, which don’t relate to the same degree to the size, role, or sound of a modern wind band. This was the first real distinction between band and orchestra, which was a gradual delineation.〔Goldman, Richard Franko. The Concert Band. Rinehart & Co., Inc. New York, New York, 1946.〕 The French Revolution propelled greatly the advancement of the concert band, with many large bands enjoying great prosperity. New instruments were developed, and the original repertoire for these groups flourished.〔
