This edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion opens with a pasodoble written by Santiago Lope, a Spanish composer who lived from 1871 to 1906. At age 6, Lope joined the village band playing the piccolo. One day, a military band visited his village and the band director noticed Lope, resulting in his being sent to the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid where he studied violin, harmony, and composition. At age 15, he became a member of Madrid’s Apollo Theater orchestra. After becoming the principal violinist of another Madrid Orchestra, he became conductor of the Romeo Theater Orchestra. Then he moved to Valencia, where he started the Valencia Municipal Band.

This edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion features music of the Danish organist and composer Dietrich Buxtehude, who lived from 1637 to 1707 and is considered one of the important composers of the 17th century. He was born in Holstein, Germany, which was actually part of Denmark at the time of his birth. Buxtehude influenced and was respected by other Boroque composers such as Georg Michael Telemann, Johann Sebastian Bach, and George Frideric Handel. Bach walked 250 miles to hear Buxtehude play. When Teleman and Handel visited him, Buxtehude tried to talk them into taking his job and marrying his oldest daughter. This edition features a wind-band arrangement of a Buxtehude organ toccata.
