Classical & Ragtime

Marches

New World Percussion

Arrangements

Our march MP3 recordings are drawn from a wide range of composers. They respond particularly well to a new world percussion treatment in our original arrangements. Classical marches have some similarity in their origins to classical dance music but this is usually restricted to rhythm and tempi.

Ragtime Marches

As with dance, march forms are sometimes incorporated in other pieces to convey a martial theme or underpin a martial phase of a drama. However as military bands developed marches were also subject of commissions. The Scott Joplin contribution that follow also illustrates the use of Marches as civic commemorations.
