Classic March Duo
Two popular marches from the classical repertoire are paired together in this wonderful new arrangement. Jeremiah Clarke’s (1674–1707) “Trumpet Voluntary” was originally written for organ and trumpet and is frequently heard as a processional at wedding ceremonies. Franz Schubert’s (1797–1828) “Marche Militaire” was originally written as a piano duet but has been reset for various instrumental ensembles. This effective arrangement gives the young band student an opportunity to perform two of the most famous marches of all time. (Correlated to Accent on Achievement, Book 1, Page 30)SKU: AL33813 -

Contredanse
Today we have ‘line dancing,’ which in reality is not too different from the ‘contredanse’ or country dance of the late 18th century.
