Abstract
John Corigliano Jr. is a prolific American composer whose compositional voice has been an important reference for generations of musicians. His innovative writing for wind band, support of band transcriptions, and endorsement of band as a progressive medium in our field make any work of his an important part of the repertoire. Transcriptions have been an invaluable part of wind band music since the nineteenth century, and bands will continue to play transcriptions of music by significant composers for many years to come. Corigliano’s music for orchestra lends itself well to transcriptions for wind band, and they have already been welcomed into the repertoire by the wind band community. This transcription of STOMP for wind ensemble seeks to join the canon of wind band repertoire and to expose new generations of musicians to the music of one of the most celebrated composers of his time.
