Verdi's brilliant opera Aida contains some of the most stirring music ever written. The Triumphal March takes part in Act II when Egypt's victory is celebrated by a grand march with soldiers, dancers, banners, slaves and finally Rhadames, the hero of the battle in his golden chariot who meets Pharaoh. Angus Armstrong shows off this great sounding music with his exceptional arrangement of Verdi's masterpiece. This 8-9 minute work can be played by advanced performers.
