Enrich your repertoire with this intermediate arrangement for woodwind quintet of Josef Franz Wagner's march "Under the Double Eagle"--instantly downloadable for your next performance. This European march is not your typical American- or Sousa-type march. Wagner was an Austrian military bandmaster and composer, often called the “Austrian March King,” a title that refers to the two-headed eagle on the Austro-Hungarian coat of arms. This transcription of a Romantic-era work is perfect for recitals, contests, competitions, weddings, graduation ceremonies, and background dinner-music gigs.
This short, engaging piece can break up a long program and give listeners a brief break from some of the heavier pieces. 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 military band, I hope you enjoy this unique setting of a European band classic, arranged for 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 Julius Fučík's "Florentiner March."
CMP Blog Post 12 delves into my inspiration behind writing this new arrangement for woodwind quintet of Delle Cese’s classic symphonic march. It also features some fun music trivia about all three pieces included in Three European Marches. Click here to read all about it on my CMP Blog Page.
