Description
John Williams’ infectious and satirical march from the Steven Spielberg comedy 1941 is brought to the brass band world in this tour-de-force arrangement by Steve Sykes. Known for its relentless energy, technical woodwind-like passages (expertly transcribed for cornets), and bold percussion, this march is a thrilling challenge for any ensemble. It is widely considered one of the best “concert marches” ever written for film, and this Sykes arrangement captures every bit of the original’s comedic brilliance and symphonic power.
