This stately march starts with a full tutti ensemble followed by a melody that is played by the low brass and low woodwinds. The upper woodwinds take over the melody with a few accidentals. The middle section transitions into the relative minor key which of course, adds some accidentals in the flute, 1st clarinet and 1st trumpet parts. The main theme ends and goes into a 3/4 waltz with a key change into Eb. The woodwinds start this new melody followed by the brass before the full band ends with a bold finish.
