Name Index, Volumes 1-12 is the thirteenth and final volume in Dr. David Whitwell's ground breaking History and Literature of the Wind Band and Wind Ensemble series. This volume includes nearly eight thousand entries - musicians, composers, publishers, historians, royalty, philosophers - a virtual encyclopedia of people who have played a part, big or small, in the creation and growth of the wind band and wind ensemble. From the earliest philosophers of ancient Greece to composers from the twentieth century, this index to the History and Literature of the Wind Band and Wind Ensemble series completes one of the most amazing works of music research. Whitwell's meticulous scholarship reveals the continuous history of the wind ensemble, from its earliest roots to the nineteenth century - an unbroken tradition of wind music that music scholars have never been fully able to appreciate until now.

David Whitwell studied conducting at the Akademie für Musik, Vienna, with Hans Swarowsky, and with Eugene Ormandy. He has conducted resident ensembles in Austria, Switzerland, Israel, Japan, Wales, England, Germany, The Netherlands, Bolivia, Peru, Korea, Taiwan, Russia and the United States, among them the Philadelphia Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, the Czech Radio Orchestras of Brno and Bratislava, and The National Youth Orchestra of Israel. David Whitwell was named as one of six men who have determined the course of American bands during the second half of the twentieth century, in the definitive history, The Twentieth Century American Wind Band (Meredith Music), and he is one of nine men described by Paula A. Crider in The Conductor's Legacy (Chicago: GIA, 2010) as 'the legendary conductors' of the twentieth century.
