Giuseppe Creatore y su Banda Italiana en BostonCreatore! Creatore! There's a fury in your form
That can lash the tamest music to a shrill and shrieking storm;
To every order telegraphed from that hypnotic eye
Reverberating kettledrums respectfully reply,
While swaying like a wind-swept reed your body cleaves the air,
Inciting boom and clash, and crash, and bray, and blow, and blare.

You frown upon the oboe, and it grievously makesmoan,
You draw from the euphonium a grumbling undertone;
You throw a double duck fit, just as if you liked to work,
To get results from yonder where the queer tympani lurk;
Meanwhile the evolutions that you set yourself to do
Resemble macaroni when it bubbles in the stew.

Old Patsy Gilmore, bless him, was a leader who could show
Contortionists and gymnasts things they really ought to know,While our Philip Sousa, with his short but gifted arms,
And his limber neck, possess many captivating charms;
But as spectacles, we own it neither one of them would do
For an instant in competing with a whalebone man like you.

Blessings on you, Creatore: if we all could work like that
We would not get results that seem trifling, tame and flat.
If we could but hurl ourselves at what isgiven us to do
And keep that whirlwind up until we get completely through,
We'd make a noise perhaps ourselves to echo through the land
And get as much good out of life as you do from that band.

    G. Schlotterbeck, citado en The New York Journal
Las Bandas en el siglo XIX tuvieron un enorme impacto en la vida cultural y social de la población de los Estados Unidos. Era un momento en quelas bandas de música demostraron el esfuerzo de la guerra tal vez más que cualquier otro momento desde las bandas sarracenas del imperio otomano. La edad de oro de bandas profesionales se inauguró con la música de Patrick Gilmore, John Philip Sousa, y el italiano Giuseppe Creatore, por nombrar unos pocos. Además, muchos grupos se formaron para proporcionar salidas a la población en general. Fueuna época rica y colorida de la música de Estados Unidos.
Las Bandas en los Estados Unidos en el s.XIX eran un reflejo de la tradición europea. La instrumentación de la Banda de Los Marines de los Estados Unidos de 1800 era: 2 oboes, 2 clarinetes, fagot, 2 trompas, y un tambor, estas bandas fueron influenciadas por la armonía y estética militar europea. La imitación continuó siendo un factorimportante, especialmente cuando los músicos europeos emigraron a América. Más tarde, la Revolución Francesa introdujo el número aceptado de musicos en las bandas, así como el tipo de instrumentos utilizados.
