£90.30Pomp and Circumstance nr.4 - Edward Elgar
Between 1900 and 1910 Edward Elgar wrote a serie of five marches with the same title. Apart from the first one (also a Molenaar Edition publication) the fourth enjoys a great popularity because of its wonderful Trio. From a technical point of view this one sets fewer demands than nr. 1 and is also excellently suited for fanfare band.

£52.70Ad Augusta - Bob Gay
The Brussels jazz pianist Bob Gay composed several excellent original marches, but left their wind band orchestration to his friend Peter Laine. The combination of Gay's humour and inventiveness on the one hand and Laine's rich orchestration on the other creates really great pieces, such as this fine 'little' march.

£116.40Anacreon Ouverture - Luigi Cherubini
Luigi Cherubini (1760-1842) was one of the leading figures in the musical world of the early nineteenth century, being active as well in Paris, London and Vienna as in his home country Italy. He became the first inspector of the Paris Conservatory of Music where he taught composition from 1816 onwards and was director from 1821 to 1841. Besides his famous 'Requiem in C minor' he wrote some thirty operas, fallen into oblivion except for the overtures, and also several marches for wind band. 'Anacreon' is a ballet-opera in one act written and first performed in 1803. The composition is rather representative for Cherubini's style and boasts several pleasant melodies fitting in a distinct structure. The overture is written in a simple classical style. The introducing largo leads to the central allegro and then the themes are developed in a fascinating way.

£61.00Highschool Dixie - John Philip Sousa
In 1890 'The High School Cadets', a popular drill team attached to the very first high school in Washington D.C., asked John Philip Sousa to write a march for the group. They requested a 'better' march than the one Sousa had written for their rivals 'The National Fencibles'. Indeed, The High School Cadets became one of the most popular of Sousa's 136 marches. Pi Scheffer wrote this fine arrangement with Dixieland combo, which was made extremely popular by the recording made by the famous Dutch Swing College Band.

£78.20Kunstler Quadrille - Johann Strauss Jr.
Everybody knows that waltzes, marches and polkas were extremely popular in Vienna in the 19th century. But at least as popular was the quadrille which unfortunately has fallen into oblivion nowadays. It has its origins in the French dance music which explains the typical six part form. It is sheer entertainment and dance music in the shape of a medley. The composer used already existing tunes and could borrow with impunity melodies from contemporary composers.

£87.80Wind in May - Lorenzo Della Fonte
The march Wind in May (Vento di Maggio) was composed to celebrate the famous 'Festa dei Ceri' in Gubbio (Umbria), one of the oldest Italian folklore display. This is a solemn act of devotion towards the city patron Saint Ubaldo. On 15th May, people carry three big candles (more than 3, 5 m high), running all around the town and up mountain. 'Wind in May' won the 2nd International Composition Contest for Marches, who took place in Gubbio in 2009.

£92.00Britannica - Rene Ruijters
Britannica is inspired by Edward Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance marches. A playful, varied introduction leads to the majestic main theme, recalling the heyday of the British Empire. It is played initially by the woodwinds, and then repeated in full orchestration. The opening section returns but quickly the music takes a different turn and finally the main theme returns in full glory. A short lively finale closes this worthy composition.
