| Abstract | Recent years contain the passing of two International Double Reed Society honorary members, both of whom substantially advanced knowledge of double reed instruments and contributed a significant body of scholarly publications. The losses of William Waterhouse (1931-2007) and Philip A. T. Bate (1909-1999) leaves a void in double reed research that the International Double Reed Society hopes to address in some small part in this volume. |
