| Abstract | The original Apostel Band, logically twelve players, is believed to have been founded in Hermann in 1882. In 1885 the band members purchased a set of instruments from Mainz (http://www.hermannhill.com/apostle-band.htm). Original manuscript band scores were re-discovered in Hermann in 2008 by John Layman. The works were revised and arranged for modern band instruments and notation by Alan Nellis. The majority of the material on this disc was originally composed for the Hermann band. While the names of the first members of that band are known, it is not known who, or even whether band member or not, composed and notated the music. |
