March from The Sleeping Beauty - Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky

This esteemed Russian composer is universally recognized as both a master orchestrator and a master of ballet music. His music remains popular not only in the ballets themselves but also in the many dances and suites drawn from the scores. Tchaikovskys signature on the march form is found in many march settings, including this from The Sleeping Beauty. As the ballet opens, this resplendent march provides the grand entrance music into the regal court of King Florestan.
