| Description: Originally written for band, this circus-style march featuring both minor and major tonalities has been set in D instead of the original key of Ab so as to facilitate performance by string instruments. Marches of this type originally composed for wind bands offer a wealth of technical and “flashy” opportunities for players. This adaptation for string orchestra will allow string players to experience this form of American music through performance and allow listeners to hear this type of music with a new tonal interpretation. |
