Trendsetters may be the perfect introduction to 20th-century wind band music. It introduces four different composers, each with their own unique style. Percy Grainger’s Lincolnshire Posy, Gustav Holst’s First Suite in E flat for Military Band, Paul Hindemith’s Symphony in B flat, and Joseph Schwantner’s … and the mountains rising nowhere each offer a unique take on what the wind band can be.
