[Finale] Wind ensemble/wind band

[YATESLAWRENCE]

In a message dated 08/10/2006 00:29:14 GMT Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: "In practice (at the college level, at least), a wind ensemble is the band with the best players in it, on the small side, but not necessarily with only one on a part."   At our music centre we have both a wind band and a wind ensemble.  The ensemble is much smaller than the band and uses orchestral instruments only (no saxes then) but the main distinction is in the repertoire, the ensemble being very much a chamber music group.   Cheers,   Lawrence
