March (from Jazz Suite No.2) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Shostakovich, Dmitri - De Meij, Johan

In 1938 Shostakovich composed his Second Jazz Suite at the request of the recently founded State Orchestra for Jazz conducted by Victor Knushevitsky. This suite was originally scored for a complete symphony orchestra to which four saxophones, an accordion and a guitar had been added. The Jazz Suite No.1 in three movements, composed in 1934, had been written for a smaller ensemble. The title 'Jazz Suite' is rather misleading, as the composer definitely uses the style of light music.Duration: 3:00

March (from Third Suite) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Jager, Robert - Wagner, Douglas E.

In the words of the composer, Robert Jager, the steady feel and rhythm of a march are somewhat distorted by measures of unequal time values. It is a delight to finally offer this distinguished and time-honoured band classic in a practical arrangement with younger players in mind. Although the diminished technical demands at this level have dictated some specific and broad changes, the original style, intent and musical colour of the work have been maintained.Duration: 2.30
