Enrich your repertoire with this intermediate arrangement for woodwind quintet of Henry Fillmore's classic march "Men of Ohio"--instantly downloadable for your next performance. This arrangement is perfect for recitals, patriotic concerts, Pops concerts, Americana events, children's concerts, and educational outreach. This short, engaging piece can break up a long program and give listeners a brief break from heavier pieces. The form of this march is standard for the time: AABB-Trio-Break Strain (dog fight)-Trio, and the march features an opening fanfare, syncopated rhythms, and soaring woodwind lines. Fillmore preferred his marches played briskly, so instead of the typical 120 bpm march tempo, try 140-160 bpm.
American composer and trombonist Henry Fillmore wrote the march "Men of Ohio" for his home state in 1921 and dedicated it to the then-president, Warren G. Harding, who was also from Ohio. This arrangement was written for advanced high school ensembles, college groups, and professional quintets. As always, I have included an alternate bass clarinet part in lieu of a missing bassoon. Originally scored for a full concert band, I hope you enjoy this unique setting for woodwind quintet of an American classic march.
