Slavonic March (from Serenade for Winds, Op. 44)

Composed the same year as Dvorak’s “Slavonic Dances”, the “Serenade for Winds” is also nationalistic in style, reflecting the melodic and rhythmic elements of traditional Czech folk music. This adaptation for band is based on the first movement and showcases exquisite orchestration and a dignified martial flavor. Dur: 3:45
