In addition, the conductors were asked to return programs from their concerts performed in the academic years of 1994-97. The Repertoire Evaluation Inventory (REI) was developed by use of numerous experts within the field of wind band literature to determine the quality of the repertoires, and consisted of three quality groupings. Descriptive statistics, chi-squares, and <i>t</i>-tests were used in arriving at the conclusions.</p><p>Almost half (47.77%) of the compositions performed by the bands surveyed did not contain a notable level of quality. In addition, 46.04% of the compositions that were determined to contain a notable level of quality were not programmed by any of the conductors surveyed. Only 24 of the 530 compositions included on the REI (4.53%) were performed by 10% (7) or more of the bands surveyed.</p><p>When the respondents were grouped by the quality of their repertoires, publisher materials were determined to be utilized more often by those conductors in the low quality group, while college or university conductors and the attendance at clinics, workshops, or conventions were utilized more often by those in the high quality group. The high quality group also valued the criteria of musical quality and knowledge of the composer more than the low quality group.</p> 1998 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1236265797 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1236265797 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
