Full Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.826950 Composed by Elizabeth Skola Davis. Contemporary,Folk,Patriotic. Score and parts. 82 pages. Elizabeth Ann Davis #2031967. Published by Elizabeth Ann Davis (A0.826950). Intended to be a festive concert opener, this lively work incorporates motifs derived from the Maryland State Song (Maryland, My Maryland) which itself is set to Lauriger Horatius, a melody better known as O Tannenbaum. The march is dedicated to the musicians of the Londontowne Symphony (an amateur community ensemble in Edgewater, Maryland) and was written for their Season 10 opening concert. Beginning with a lone snare drum setting a simple cadence, the march quickly builds in volume and intensity as different instruments and groups enter and play with the themes. Lesser known American bugle calls such as Church Call and To the Color vie with snippets of a frolic borrowed from a Max Reger piano piece as every player gets a moment in the spotlight, leading to a rousing finale.
