Among several major projects funded by the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the British Academy are‘Military Sponsorship of Music in Britain in the Nineteenth Century and its Relationship with the Musical Mainstream’. A project that created a greater and more accurate understanding of military music in the period, and to explained its relationship to wider orbits of art and popular music.Further information is available from the project’s website. And, the AHRC-funded project,‘Cultures of performance among British brass players 1750-1965’, which traced the elements that contribute to a distinctive style of British brass playing. It looked at the relationships between amateur playing and different types of professional music including jazz, orchestral music and military bands. Further information is available from the‘Cultures of Brass’ website.
