1.   Tchaikovsky  -  March from The Nutcracker

Tchaikovsky, Pyotr Ilyich


This March is from Tchaikovsky's hugely popular ballet 'The Nutcracker.' It's full of energy and life - in fact it's maybe a little more of a dance than a march, with its skipping dotted rhythms. A joyful March!

2.   When the saints come Marching In

Trad.


Though a gospel hymn, When the Saints has also become a jazz classic, being particularly associated with the Dixieland style of great players such as Louis Armstrong. As it is one of the most familiar and beloved pieces, it is a great way for players of all levels to show off their performing chops!

3.   Sousa  -  The Stars and Stripes Forever

Sousa, John Philip


The Stars and Stripes Forever is an American patriotic march, written by John Philip Sousa in 1896. It was composed in honour of David Blakely, who was manager of the Sousa Band. It was an instant hit and only a year later was adopted as the official national march of the United States of America.

4.   Tchaikovsky  -  Marche Slave

Tchaikovsky, Pyotr Ilyich


Tchaikovsky's Marche Slave, published in 1876, was written to mark Russia's role in the Serbo-Turkish War. It's magnificent main melody is the Slavic folk song Sunce jarko, ne sijaš jednako, which Tchaikovsky deploys to depict the anguish of the Serbs.

The "Colonel Bogey March" is a popular march that was written in 1914 by Lieutenant F. J. Ricketts (1881-1945), a British Army bandmaster who later became the director of music for the Royal Marines at Plymouth. It was famously used by Malcolm Arnold in the film Bridge on the River Kwai.

Sousa, John Philip

7.   Elgar  -  Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4

Elgar, Edward


Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No.4 may be less well-known that his famous March No.1, Land of Hope and Glory, but its central trio melody (heard after a graceful first section) is no less magnificent. It makes it a wonderful alternative for those wishing to avoid the familiarity of the earlier work.

8.   Schumann  -  Soldiers March from Album for the Young Op68 No.2

Schumann, Robert


A simple march from Schumann's Album for the Young Op.68, perhaps depicting the kind of toy soldier's a young person might play with.
