From Wind Repertory Project

The following links are places where you may be able to listen to music for winds (and other varieties as well):


  • IMSLP - The International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP), also known as the Petrucci Music Library, contains not only public domain music scores, but also over 10,000 public domain recordings for over 50,000 works.
  • Last.fm - A music recommender, using a system called "Audioscrobbler." Last.fm builds a detailed profile of each user's musical taste by recording details of the songs the user listens to, either from Internet radio stations, or the user's computer or many portable music devices. This information is transferred ("scrobbled") to Last.fm's database, and the data is then displayed on the user's profile page and also compiled to create reference pages for individual artists.
  • Pandora - An automated music recommendation service, using the Music Genome Project. Pandora plays musical selections similar to song suggestions entered by a user. The user provides positive or negative feedback for songs chosen by the service, which are taken into account for future selections. The service has two subscription plans: a free subscription supported by advertisements, and a fee-based subscription without ads.
  • Symphonic Band Performances An amazing collection of recordings of music for winds. Featuring vintage recordings from decades pasts, showcasing works both well-known and rare. There are 500 tracks ranging from high school and honor bands to university and military groups. An excellent place for the preservation of wind music!
  • Wind & Rhythm - A one-hour weekly broadcast devoted to the music of Wind Bands hosted by David Lawrence. The show features Wind Symphonies, Wind Ensembles, Wind Orchestras, Concert Bands, Symphonic Bands, and Brass Bands with small brass, reed, and percussion ensembles too.
