Abstract
The purpose of this research is neither to recommend repertoire for wind bands, nor to compare wind bands to other music ensembles. It is to examine the beginning of the modern wind band's repertoire, which start with Gustav Holst's compositions originally written for wind band. Suite in E Flat and Hammersmith are two exceptional, refined works of the band repertoire written by a talented composer, who had deep knowledge of compositional techniques and music history. Both works are related to philosophical questions about time, the universe and life itself.
