Cultures of Brass Instruments is a wide-ranging project that involves several related fields of inquiry. At the centre of each part of the project is an objective to increase understanding of the nature of brass musical instruments and the way they are or have been used – especially: Repertoires – the music that has been played on brass instruments, whether that music has been written or is unwritten Performance – the way the instruments have been played at different points in history and in any part of the world Reception – the way the instruments have been understood and appreciated by those who have heard them The general project is not restricted to a particular type of music, historical period or geographical region. As the investigation grows, additional material will be placed on this site. The site also contains links to the two editions of Music in Words: A Guide to Researching and Writing about Music. The investigators are: Professor Trevor Herbert, Professor of Music at the Open University You may quote from this site but if you do so you should acknowledge the quotation in the following way: |
