The USF Chamber Winds will be presenting a concert of music spanning the evolution of the wind section of an orchestra and the development of bands.  It will not be in chronological order. The first 

selection will be the music of Igor Stravinsky. Symphonies of Wind Instruments was one of the very first masterworks written for the modern wind orchestra. Our second selection with originate at the 

beginning with the music of Gabrieli for brass choirs. Gabrieli has been attributed as the first composer to assign instruments to specific lines of music. And finally, we conclude with the delightfully romantic 

music of Arthur Bird s Suite in D, written at the height of the period during the 19th century when composers began to focus on producing quality music for groups of winds.  John C. Carmichael will 

be the conductor.
