£38.20Persian March - Johann Strauss
Among the some 1500 compositions by Johann Strauss Sr. and his three sons there are some 70 marches, 45 of them written by Johann Strauss Jr. He composed military marches, marches for students and even a revolutionary march. Besides several exotic sounding concert marches, such as the Russian March, the Egyptian March, the Serbian March and the Spanish March Johann Strauss Son also wrote a Persian March: 'Persischer Marsch' opus 289. Originally the march was called 'Persischer Armeemarsch' (Persian Army March) and was written for the Shah of Persia, Nasir Ed-Dir in 1856. The composer made a first revision for a concert in the Vienna 'Volksgarten' (Popular Garden) in 1864 and a second for a concert in Pavlovsk, Russia in 1869. It is a march with an oriental sound in which the composer tried to recreate some exotic sonorities; he did not use any real Persian theme, but only tried to suggest the Persian atmosphere in his own style.

Suite (From Der Rosenkavalier) - Richard Strauss
Richard Strauss (1864-1949) is mainly known for his symphonic poems such as Don Juan, Also Sprach Zarathustra, Ein Heldenleben,... However, he also wrote many operas and "Der Rosenkavalier" (created in 1911 in Dresden) with a libretto by Von Hofmannsthal is probably the most popular of them all. In our "Jan Cober Series", we would like to present this very special arrangement of the suite from "Der Rosenkavalier". Jan Cober worked extensively on this arrangement and carefully composed this new suite. In this respect, he preserved the necessary mood and vitality of Strauss's music so it could be played by a brass band. He has done this without losing sight of the musicaltension of the original.

Radetzky-Marsch, Op. 228 - Johann Strauss Sr.
Presented for the first time in August 1848 in Vienna, Johann Strauss Sr's Radetzky-Marsch is one of the most famous marches ever composed, dedicated to Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky von Radetz. Strauss was commissioned to write it to commemorate Radetzky's victory in the battle of Custoza.Next to the waltz An der schnen blauen Donau - On the beautiful blue Danube - by Johann Strauss Jr, the Radetzky-Marsch has assumed the role of 'unofficial' Austrian anthem over time. When it was performed for the first time in front of officers, these began to beat their hands and feet to the rhythm of the music, giving life to a tradition often seen in many concert halls when the march is performed live.The Vienna Philharmonic always performs the march as the final piece in the famous New Year's Concert.

£137.99The Gipsy Baron - Johann Strauss Jr.
The operetta The Gipsy Baron is, together with Die Fledermaus (The Bat), the most famous theatre work by Johann Strauss Jr. A libretto full of romance, original musical ideas, compelling Viennese dances, fiery rhythmic Hungarian music and beautiful arias, were just some of the ingredients that lead to its huge success. The Gipsy Baron can also be thought of as a comic opera. The main motif of this overture won first prize in a contest that was to provide a new Hungarian anthem, however because Strauss did not have Hungarian nationality, another melody was chosen. A great transcription to bring a Hungarian twist to any programme.
