(March of the Gibaros, Opus 31). Composed by Louis Gottschalk. Arranged by Robert S. Frost. Solo or Ensemble. Voyager String Orchestra. Kendor Music Inc #09486S. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.09486S). UPC: 822795094862.
Subtitled March of the Gibaros (Peasants), this is one of the finest works ever written by pianist/composer Louis Gottschalk. In this adaptation for student strings, players must make a clean distinction between the melodic and accompaniment elements. The overall dynamic scheme will also require attention since this programmatic music depicts a passing procession (soft to loud to soft as the parade approaches and departs). With the exception of two chordal sections, driving rhythms are typical. Duration ca. 2:30. Available in SmartMusic.
