Subject: [kl] No more parts for Eb? (or, what's the world coming to??)

So, in community band last week, the librarians passed out a whole
slew of music. A slew (for you non-Americans) is a lot of music. So
anyway, I think the director was in a TV/film kind of mood when he
went shopping, and we got Lord of the Rings (the film score version,
not the old one by whatshisface), a Harry Potter score, the theme from
"The West Wing", something called "The Great Locomotive Chase", Irish
Ayre, March "Independentia", America Exultante, and a few others. I
think it must have been about a dozen pieces.

I double on Eefer in our band. And out of all this stuff (most of
which had copyrights that started with 20), there was one piece that
had an Eb part. ONE! And it was a march of all things (Northwind
march).

What's with composers nowadays? Is Eb destined to become obsolete
slowly and painfully over time?
