DCD 114 - March On!

Here's a podcast episode that should get you moving! From the DTR catalog, we present selections from March On! -- an organ recital of symphonic marches arranged for the organ. Michael Stairs performs on the Longwood Gardens Organ.

The disc -- and our podcast -- features famous marches, as well as some that aren't so well known. You'll hear John Philip Sousa's "The Washington Post March," and Jeremiah Clarke's "Prince of Denmark's March." But the program also includes the Bridal March from "The Birds," by British composer Charles Hubert Parry. We also play an arrangement by Felix-Alexandre Giulmant, a renowned French organist -- a Marche Relgieuse on Handel's "Lift Up Your Heads."

A varied and exciting program, indeed!
