Abstract
Paul Dooley is a composer whose growing body of repertoire for the wind band has been gaining consistent recognition. His compositions have received positive critical reviews, won several awards, and are consistently programmed for performances at important events within the wind band community. This paper provides an analysis of three works by Paul Dooley, Mavericks, Coast of Dreams, and Masks and Machines, while offering practical information for ensemble preparation. An examination of each wind band score and comparison to the orchestral versions offers insight into the compositional and orchestrational process of the composer. Information gleaned from several interviews, email correspondences, and meetings with the composer is provided. It is the aim of this paper to encourage more conductors to program Dooley’s music, as well as consider expanding the wind band repertoire through future commissions.
