The Brandenburg Gate (German March)

Heralded by a fanfare-like figure for trumpets in the first strain, here is an appealing German-style march solidly scored for young players. Low brass take the lead on the second strain, followed by a contrasting lyrical section featuring the woodwinds. The full ensemble brings us to a rousing finish in this terrific-sounding march. (This is a nice follow-up to Johnnie’s earlier “international” marches “St. Petersburg March, New Forest March” and “The Crown of Castile”.) Dur: 2:30
