Two favorite marches from Robert Schumann's Album for the Young have been tastefully arranged by John Cacavas for the young concert band. 'Two Grenadiers,' the stately martial ballad begins with a processional air, but offers many contrasts. A cheerful melody opens the 'Soldier's March' which is scored with more transparency and emphasis on individual sections. These short marches offer a pleasant alternative for any concert program.
