The majestic and heroic Polonaise Op.40, No.1 by Chopin is often known as the Military Polonaise. Bombastic good fun for four bassoons!
Chopin wrote the majestic and heroic Polonaise Op.40, No.1 in 1838. Originally in A major for solo piano it is often known as the Military Polonaise. The piece’s nationalistic qualities lead to it being broadcast daily on Polish radio during the German invasion of the country at the outset of WWII. Bombastic good fun for four bassoons!
‘Marche Militaire’ is the first in a set of three by Schubert. More pompous than militaristic this is joyful, catchy music. Wonderful on four bassoons!
Dvorak’s capricious Slavonic Dance No 8 – joyous, nationalistic music at its best! Fab on four bassoons!
Sousa’s catchy ‘Washington Post’ march was an immediate hit and it remains one of his best-known works. Very well suited to four bassoons!
