INTRODUCTION

​

I have collected a list of significant European symphonic wind band music works from the 20th century to the present day. My source of information has been wind music professionals from various countries, conductors, sheet music publishers, recordings and literature.

My aim was not to list the thousands of European wind band compositions but to choose the most representative, interesting compositions from different countries that would spur interest. My criteria specified that the work was composed between the early 20th century and the present day, was published and is available online.

My ambition is to keep completing the catalogue, so I would be happy to receive suggestions by email at

I hope the catalogue will help you design your concert programs, promote wind band music, and spread it.
