Britannica is inspired by Edward Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance marches. A playful, varied introduction leads to the majestic main theme, recalling the heyday of the British Empire. It is played initially by the woodwinds, and then repeated in full orchestration. The opening section returns but quickly the music takes a different turn and finally the main theme returns in full glory. A short lively finale closes this worthy composition.

Category: MARCHES - Grade 4.0 Composer: Robert Buckley
Third Movement of A Tribute to Arthur Delamont
Grade: 4.0 Duration: 03:10
Imagine a band far off in the distance marching toward you – soft at first, the music becomes louder and louder; the red capes of the band sway in the wind, getting closer and closer. It was this image that inspired Flying Colors. Famed bandmaster Arthur Delamont always programmed a march in his concerts, and the hallmark of his band was their red capes. The work begins very softly with a distant snare drum beat. The trumpets enter quietly with the melody, and with each new melodic entry the music grows and intensifies to a roaring finish. This is a fresh new take on a march, and is sure to please players and audiences alike! Flying Colors is the third movement of A Tribute to Arthur Delamont and was commissioned by the West Vancouver Youth Band.
Grand March’ was composed in 1995 for the All Shizuoka Youth Band of Japan. The piece opens with a majestic fanfare. A superb-sounding march, with a commanding character, follows. The talent of this Japanese composer reveals itself in the distinctly lyrical character of the trio section, which contrasts wonderfully with the first lyrical themes of the score.
