Bertrand Moren composed Alpine March for the Hochwaliser Musikfest in Blatten Switzerland in 2004. The march opens in a festive 6/8 time with lots of dynamic contrast and characteristic 6/8 rhythms. The Trio-section however is written in 2/4 time and is very lyrical. With a da capo this march written by the winner of last year’s European Brass Band Composition Contest is brought to a thrilling close.
