Marche Slava
for Wind Band (Grade 4)
CMU Reading Session,
conducted by Drew Shankles
"Marche Slava" is a somewhat Bernsteinesque piece composed in the
standard march
form.
One of my goals is to help reinvent the concert march, as marches were
such a large part of the wind band tradition:
This piece was the first composition in my series of concert marches,
and it contains several quotes and references,
including a beginning snare drum etude and multiple parts of "Stars and
Stripes Forever".
