Elevate your performance with this advanced-intermediate arrangement for woodwind quintet of Julius Fučík's "Florentiner March"--instantly downloadable for your next performance. Fučík's Italian symphonic march dates from the early 20th century and is a staple of the concert band repertoire known to many music students. This short, engaging piece can break up a long program and give listeners a brief break from heavier pieces. This arrangement is perfect for recitals, contests, competitions, graduations, weddings, military ceremonies, and background dinner music gigs.
Fučík wrote this delightful march in 1907 while working as a military bandmaster of the Austro-Hungarian Army in Budapest. This arrangement was written for college ensembles and professional quintets. As always, I have included an alternate bass clarinet part in lieu of a missing bassoon. Bring a taste of Europe to your special music events with this band classic transformed here into a charming woodwind quintet.
Save 50% when you purchase this march as part of my collection: Three European Marches, along with Davide Delle Cese's "L'Inglesina," and Josef F. Wagner's "Under the Double Eagle."
