Entry March of the Boyars is originally an orchestral work by Norwegian composer Johan Halvorsen. In 1893 Halvorsen was offered a post at the Bucharest Conservatory of Music in Romania and read with interest about the history of the area. This is how he became acquainted with Boyars. He wrote this march about these fascinating people.
sigh, the nostalgia. i still remember his clammy old man hands on my shoulders trying to keep me still while i played my instrument lol. he was a great teacher and had a good ear. i got a full 4 years of Mr. Green days + extra ones in the fall bc we went to 2 concert band clinics. oh the joys of double duty marching and concert band. like falco from star fox, "i guess i should be thankful."
I know this was back in May, but I remember when I was in High School, we marched "With Heart and Voice" By David Gillingham back in 2016. Interesting to see that Melissa played it again 6 years later as a concert piece
