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

Arr. Wil Van Der Beek. Par FUCIK JULIUS. Julius Fucik (1872-1916) hat sich als Komponist vor allem mit Marschmusik wie dem Florentiner Marsch aber auch mit Werken in anderen Genres einen Namen gemacht. Mit dieser Konzertouvertüre entführt er uns auf einen Spaziergang ans Meer, in charmanter Begleitung eines Mädchens namens Marinarella. Gemütlich am Boulevard entlang schlendernd, schnappen wir verschiedene Geräusche und Konzerte auf. Ihr Publikum wird die Musik gerne auf diesen einfach strukturierten, aber sehr unterhaltsamen musikalischen Spaziergang begleiten! / Niveau : 4 / Transcription / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

This fantastic concert march was written in 1907 and is regarded by many as one of Fucik's finest works. The triumphant ending makes it a great finale to any concert, leaving your audience with a smile on their face and a spring in their step! (4:00) / Orchestre
