Military March, Op. 51, No. 1

In this piece for second-year players Paul Murtha masterfully adapts the traditional military march form for young musicians. The first strain is carried by trumpets and upper woodwinds while the low brass take the lead on the second strain. After a brief percussion break the legato trio melody features the woodwind section. A “call and response” breakstrain is followed by the full band on the rousing finish. Keep the march alive with this marvelous piece!

Sousa was the guest conductor of the assembled student band for the première.

Queen of Lake Malaren March. Par WIDQVIST VIKTOR. One of Viktor Widqvist's most well-known marches is undoubtedly Mälarrottningen. It was probably composed as early as the 1910s when he was serving in the engineering troops, but was published as late as 1950. The march's subtle minor tonality and the elegant runs in the woodwind bring to mind the wavy waters of Riddarfjärden in summertime. Mälardrottningen is just like the other marches by Widqvist composed for the old military band setting without saxophones. The big challenge has been to rearrange the music without changing the timbre and I have put a lot of emphasis on keeping the elegance and resilience of the original and therefore let some instruments pause in parts to get transparency in the timbre. The present arrangement reflects very well the composer's intentions and perception of timbre in new instrumentation for modern wind band. - Niclas Blixt / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Marching Band

The little march composed in 1924 forms the nucleus of the suite for wind instruments Mládí (HN 1093/7093), in which the jaunty flute theme weaves through the 3rd movement. Incidentally, the 'bluebirds? do not refer to birds but to the light blue robes worn by the choristers at the monastery in Brno, which Janá?ek entered at the age of eleven. Almost 60 years later during a visit to Potsdam he remembered the Prussian troops' invasion of Brno and, with this in mind, wrote a chamber music miniature with a military element. Our Janá?ek edition by Ji?í Zahrádka, a specialist on the life and work of the great Czech composer, contains top-quality Urtext as well as detailed information on the work's genesis and transmission. / Piccolo Et Piano
