SKU: A0.1278533
Composed by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Arranged by Ray Thompson. 20th Century,March,Romantic Period. 25 pages. RayThompsonMusic #870214. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.1278533).The Festival Coronation March in D major, TH 50, ČW 47, is an orchestral work by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky ordered by the city of Moscow for the coronation of Tsar Alexander III in 1883.
It was written during March 1883 and performed for the first time on June 4[O.S. May 23], 1883 in Sokolniki Park (Moscow), conducted by Sergei Taneyev.[1] The music included excerpts of the anthem God Save the Tsar.
Recordings of this piece generally run between 5 and 5½ minutes.
Arranged wind dectet/bass (double wind quintet/bass/tuba)
My arrangement is in the same key as the original (D major)
Clarinet parts are CLARINET IN A
This is the first section of the March, It does NOT include the TRIO or the repeat of the March (so does not include the God save the Tsar music)
Rather than simply copying the woodwind parts, I have moved some of the music down one octave. Thus avoiding the shrill sound of high woodwind in a smaller ensemble.
For info: During the Soviet Era, Russian performances and recordings of the music were revised to omit the excerpts from the Czarist national anthem, replacing it with thematic material used earlier in the march. Other works that quoted or otherwise used the anthem, such as Tchaikovsky's Marche Slave and 1812 Overture, were also revised, due to an official Soviet ban on the anthem.
Starting with Dmitri Medvedev’s inauguration in 2008, an abbreviated version of this piece is played during the Russian presidential inauguration accompanying the entrance of the incoming president. That version (Similar to my arrangement) lasts less than two minutes, and so ends well before the playing of God Save the Tsar.
Check out my arrangement of Tchaikovsky's Military March,TH150 arranged for similar instrumentation.
