This is a very fresh march from the former director of the United States Marine Band. It is more of a concert march than a street march and makes wonderful use of the many voices of the band, from a delightful flute/piccolo melody to a lush low brass statement in which only the brass voices are heard, without constant pulse of percussion. In fact, the percussion parts are particularly wonderful in that they enhance the musical lines of the overall work rather than merely keeping time in typical march fashion. This is a terrific march for any band.
