Abstract: In the middle of the fourteenth century, a new musical institution consisting of trumpets and shawms began to take shape. Scholars of Medieval and Renaissance music refer to these as alta bands. This term is never used to describe bands past about the middle of the sixteenth century, and yet descendants of the alta bands thrived until the middle of the seventeenth century and survived in some places well into the nineteenth century.
