Introduction In the pantheon of 20th- and 21st-century wind band conducting, few names command as much respect as Donald Hunsberger (1932–2023). Longtime conductor of the Eastman Wind Ensemble, Hunsberger redefined the role of the conductor as both a technician and an interpreter. His seminal work, often referred to informally as "The Art of Conducting" (frequently encountered as a PDF compilation of his teaching materials, articles, and conducting class handouts), distills decades of experience into a practical philosophy of baton technique, score preparation, and ensemble leadership.
