March of the Belgin Paratroopers

Title: March of the Belgin Paratroopers
Level: 4
Composer/Arranger: Pierre Lemans/ Charles A Wiley
Publisher: TRN Music publishing
Classification: European March
Instrumentation: Full, plus 2 Piccolo's and 2 Oboes
Source: UND Band Library
General Comments: An addition to American audiences since 1975, this piece helped bring the European march style to us. the set-up of this march is the opposite of a Sousa march, with a soft beginning and ending, and a fanfare - like trio section. The tempo is moderate, the key changes a few times. Two picolo and two oboe players are needed, so be sure to have pitch-minded musicians on these parts; they are isolated, and very exposed! A refreshing change from the typicla Sousa march.
