This thread needs some more band music.

Behold the greatest band piece of all time, Holst's First Suite in Eb
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ehb6IiMp9d8

(Here's the Second Suite in F for the losers who like this one better): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6AMkKsPams


Lots of Grainger talk already which is cool. Sucks that he was a lovely guy because he made some great music.

Paul Hindemith is also pretty badass. For winds he has Symphony in Bb which is definitely worth checking out.

Very important piece in the band world.

He is also super well known for his Symphonic Metamorphoses on Themes by Carl Maria von Weber of which I think the march is one of the best things: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpxVGaq5TBI


And finally, a lesser known band piece that I'm incredibly fond of is Symphony No. 3 "Slavyanskaya" by Boris Kozhevnikov. Definitely check this out if you want to get pumped up to conquer the world: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0zEe8Bfees
