List of concert band literature explained

Cornerstone works
The following works are some of the most universally respected and established cornerstones of the band repertoire. All have "stood the test of time" through decades of regular performance, and many, either through an innovative use of the medium or by the fame of their composer, helped establish the wind band as a legitimate, serious performing ensemble.

The Klavier Wind Recording Project was started in 1989 by Eugene Corporon while he was director of bands at the University of Cincinnati – College-Conservatory of Music. It has helped provide recordings of many of the most important and more recent pieces in the wind band literature. The recording project continues today, having followed Corporon to the University of North Texas. The project continues to this day under the label GIA Publications. Corporon's recordings exist in the form of the Teaching Music Through Performance In Band Series, Windworks Series and Composer's Collections. Still more recordings have been released by The Keystone Winds, conducted by Jack Stamp. The Keystone Winds consists of faculty, alumni and students from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Two of the most prominent professional bands are the Dallas Winds, conducted by Jerry Junkin, and the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra, conducted by Takeshi Ooi. Both bands were at one point led by Frederick Fennell who recorded several albums of concert band literature with them.
The French Republican Guard Band, known as Musique de la Garde républicaine and one of the most oldest wind concert band in the world, has recorded numerous works from the beginning of 1900s.[1]
