Bandstands: Pavilions for Music, Entertainment and Leisure

No Customer Reviews
In 1833, the Select Committee for Public Walks was introduced so that 'the provision of parks would lead to a better use of Sundays and the replacement of the debasing pleasures.' Music was seen as an important moral influence and 'musical cultivation ?the safest and surest method of popular culture', and it was the eventual introduction of the bandstand which became a significant aspect of the reforming potential of public parks. This book tells the story of these pavilions made for music, and their history, decline and revival.
