Gordon Jacob (1895-1984) was a 20th century British composer.
Along with Holst and Vaughan Williams, he is known as an
early
champion of the wind band and a skilled composer in the medium.
His 1928 An
Original Suite
is considered standard repertoire. Its very title shows its
significance: when it was first published (by Boosey), the publisher
added the "Original" piece to the title, presumably to distinguish it
from the many popular music arrangements that dominated the wind band
repertoire at the time.
The Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music Wind Ensemble performed this
whole suite very recently and put it on YouTube, which is very
convenient for this site.
