Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore (1829-1892), known as "the father of the concert band," was the first American bandmaster to gain international fame. Born in Ireland, he served in the Union Army during the Civil War
(where he composed "When Johnny Comes Marching Home"), then toured widely during the 1870's and 1880's. His first recordings appear to have been for Edison in 1891. Although Gilmore himself died in 1892, his band stayed together for a number of years longer, under the leadership of Victor Herbert, and recorded for several companies.
