Review:
The fourth of five marches in this famous set offers a dramatic addition to the bell repertoire. It features thick textures and challenging rhythms at a quick tempo. Bells can stand alone, but the optional directors score adding brass and percussion makes this a great choice for festival or concert. Note carefully the options for ordering. Please be aware that this is not the most familiar of the "Pomp and Circumstance" Marches commonly associated with graduations. Set in G Major, this arrangement is 262 measures.
