Music reviews of 40 Famous Marches
Music Review: March time marches on
Rating: 5 Stars
I was actually looking for The March Of The Gladiators (he famous circus music) When I found this album, but when I read all rest of the program, I knew I had to have it.
Most of the marches are by European composers, although J.P. Sousa is included, but many of the pieces are well known to American audiences as themes from movie, radio, and television shows, even though we don't know their titles.
Together they make a fascinating, lively, and truly entertaining musical show. I love to play this disc while working. It's fun to listen to, and helps set a brisk pace. Another practical use for this disc might be for storeowners to play it in place of muzak during the last hour before closing.(It would gently encourage shoppers to shop quickly and check out.) But the best reason to buy this album is that it is, above all, great music. A quick look at the names of the composers list will tell you that.
This is a compilation disc. That is, a collection composed of selections recorded by many artists from many different albums, but it is a good one. The pieces fit together well, and each piece is a complete work of art capable of standing up on its own. There are no medleys patching together incomplete bits of unrelated themes. Each march is complete as the composer wrote it.
There are two discs,and each disc is a concert that I would gladly pay to attend if it were offered by my local symphony. If you love music, you will love this album. It's good music, it's fun, and it's good entertainment.
