Wind ensemble literature in the music library: a core bibliography

The paper seeks to provide a selective bibliography for librarians responsible for music collections and resources pertaining to the history and literature of the wind ensemble, an area frequently underrepresented in our collections.

A range of resources of value to music students and faculty are described to enable librarians and students to make selections appropriate for their needs. The works are divided into two sections: history and literature, and scores.

Information is provided about each work, including publisher.

This paper offers practical suggestions for librarians responsible for music collections.
