Two Schumann Marches

Two favorite marches from Robert Schumann's Album for the Young have been tastefully arranged by John Cacavas for the young concert band. Two Grenadiers, the stately martial ballad begins with a processional air, but offers many contrasts. A cheerful melody opens the Soldier's March which is scored with more transparency and emphasis on individual sections. These short marches offer a pleasant alternative for any concert program.
