Arr. Wil Van Der Beek. Par FUCIK JULIUS. Julius Fucik (1872-1916) was born in Prague, Czech Republic. He studied under Antonin Dvorák and at a young age played in military bands and later became bandmaster, a profession he practiced in various cities with many bands. In 1913 he settled in Berlin where he started his own music publishing house. As a composer Fucik is known for his light entertaining music however he also wrote chamber music, songs, choral works, a mass, a requiem and an unfinished opera. Many of his works have fallen into oblivion but many of his marches such as Einzug der Gladiatoren, Regimentskinder and Florentiner Marsch are still often played. With the concert overture Marinarella, Fucik takes us toan imaginary seaside resort on a beautiful spring day. Marinarella, a girl of the sea, accompanies us on our stroll. Leisurely walking couples on the boulevard, the murmur of the sea, fragments of a waltz melody from a café and a concert band performing a promenade concert pass you by. A fantastic opening work for any concert. / Niveau : 4 / Transcription / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Julius Fucik (1872-1916) fut l?élève de Dvorak. Malgré l?orientation plutôt symphonique de son maître Fucik connut le succès en tant que compositeur de musique et de marches militaires dont cette Regimentskinder March est l?une des plus connues. Georges Moreau nous livre pour sa part un arrangement accessible de ce grand classique.

Slovenian March - Slowenischer Marsch opus 72-Julius Fucík a composé plus de 400 ?uvres dont bon nombre est écrit pour orchestre d?harmonie à connotation militaire. Triglav op. 72 est une ?uvre originale composée en 1900 pour orchestre d?harmonie qui tire son nom du plus haut sommet deSlovénie le Triglav (2864 m). Elle apportera une touche de brillance à tout programme de concert.
