As the title suggests, this dignified processional for strings demands a steady march tempo and solid bow strokes for a full, clear tone. Strong melodic lines for all will encourage confidence in young players, and a brief interlude with smooth bowings will provide essential stylistic contrast. The coda is particularly forceful; in his score notes, Del Borgo says a slight allargando in the last two bars is possible for directors wishing to bring the piece to a more dramatic conclusion. Scored for standard strings with optional piano. |
