One Day Wonder #54

For 1 horn, 3 trumpets, 2 trombones and tuba.

I had the urge to write a march, so I did. And it turned out quite good. This one is in 6/8. It’s got that “football feel” because it’s in 6/8, plus there’s some chromatic movement in the melody and the three trumpets get to rule the roost for much of the time. Out of the two other marches I’ve done, I like this one exactly as much as the others. By now, my marches are all falling into the same form: intro, A theme, B theme, A theme with counter-melody, transition, trio, A theme with different counter-melody, outro. That’s how it works. I'm not sure whether this is the true march structure, but it works nicely for something that's two minutes long. I’ll write another one soon.
