EXERCISES FOR ENSEMBLE DRILL. For band or Orchestra. Warming up exercises. Sheet music.1967 [Sheet music] Raymond Fussell

Description

Sheet music cover has some wear and there is a bit of fading on a few letters of the title but still legible. Pages are clean and the binding is secure.

This vintage sheet music from 1967 offers a glimpse into the world of mid-20th century ensemble training and warm-up exercises. Composed by Raymond Fussell, a respected music educator and conductor, “EXERCISES FOR ENSEMBLE DRILL” was likely a staple in many band rooms and orchestra rehearsals of its era. The exercises within were designed to help musicians develop technical proficiency, ensemble cohesion, and a strong foundation in sight-reading and musicianship.

While the cover shows some signs of its age, the clean interior pages and secure binding suggest this copy was well-loved by its previous owner, perhaps a student or teacher who relied on Fussell’s exercises to hone their craft. For collectors of historical music pedagogy materials or those with a nostalgic connection to their school music days, this modest yet practical volume offers a tangible link to the training methods and ensemble practices of decades past.
