Praise to the Lord with Brass

Meer over het boek

The Staff Band, a brass band belonging to the Territorial Headquarters of the Salvation Army in Germany was first founded in 1910. The book is about the history of the German Staff Band. But not only that. The book also covers a small part of the beginnings of the largest brass band movement in Germany and the general development of Salvation Army brass band music in this country from its beginning towards the end of the 19th Century, the glory days of the 1920s and the difficult times after the First and Second World Wars with all the ensuing problems and hindrances for Salvation Army music there. It was not until 1989 that it again became possible to reestablish a Staff Band as a brass band at the Territorial Headquarters in Germany.
