Beschreibung
The Italian band led by Gaetano Carusi, who was recruited for the United States Marine Corps from Catania, Sicily and arrived in Washington, D.C. in 1805, left an indelible mark on the development of the American concert band. Since all bands in America (public school, university, community, and professional) are modeled in some fashion on the military bands, the influence of Carusis group of Italian musicians on the nations premiere military band in its earliest years cannot be overstated. Their unique instrumentation and approach to programming formed the early paradigm for the American band; the genre of the Italian march had a significant influence on what became the American march; and the honored place of the band in Italian culture influenced the band movement that would, by 1825, become a vital part of American culture. These profoundly important influences have been almost wholly ignored in the existing literature on the history of the wind band.
