One of King's best known marches that's always remembered for "that @*&! Baritone Part!". Glover's top-notch arrangement stays faithful to the original and provides both the original baritone part plus an optional easier part for those baritone players not yet ready for the "big-time"! It's a great march that's perfect for concert or contest use!

The Memory of Our Native Place Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)

Satoshi Yagisawa is well known for his dramatic symphonic band compositions. Even though he has written relatively few marches, they are also very popular: March Willing and Able is based on a chorale while March Bou Shu is based on a Japanese folk song. The Memory of Our Native Place is a rather unusual piece for Yagisawa, as it actually closely resembles a traditional march. The piece opens with a lively fanfare and is contrasted by the following theme. The trio features a chorale-like melody. 0:03:20

The musical inspiration for this piece came from the scenes and speeches on a rock emblazoned with battle scenes from our nation's history. The piece opens with a military-sounding march that leads to a solemn section over which a narrator reads the speeches seen on the rock while a muted trumpet plays "Taps" in the background. The initial march then returns, with fragments of numerous patriotic melodies juxtaposed with the original melody, coming to an exciting ending. Duration: 4.45
