Toy Soldier Marches - Marsha Shapiro

The winter holiday season might bring to mind the "Toy Soldier Dance" as performed annually by the famous Radio City Rockettes. Many composers wrote march music for toy, tin or wooden soldiers. Four of those songs have been included in this medley: Parade of the Wooden (or Tin) Soldiers by Leon Jessel, March of the Toys from the operetta Babes in Toyland by Victor Herbert, Fritz Kreiser's Toy Soldier March for violin and piano, and March of the Wooden Soldiers from Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite.
