The latest in the Teach­ing music through per­form­ance in band series is a second edi­tion of the first volume ever pro­duced. It was 1997 when the first volume was released and since then the series has expan­ded to 7 volumes for band (with volume 8 cur­rently in pro­duc­tion), 2 for begin­ning band, 3 for orches­tra, 2 for choir and one each for jazz ensembles and marches. The first volume was ground­break­ing when first released, but the depth of ana­lysis of the works was rudi­ment­ary com­pared to the later volumes. GIA Pub­lic­a­tions and editor Richard Miles have remedied this by com­pletely rewrit­ing volume 1: all 100 ana­lyses have been rewrit­ten as well as the open­ing essays by Larry Blocher, Ray Cramer, Eugene Cor­poron, Edward Lisk, Richard Miles and Tim Lautzen­he­iser. This was an import­ant pro­ject for GIA to under­take as volume 1 nat­ur­ally included the most pop­u­lar and import­ant works in the band repertoire.
