Instrumental Music
A long-awaited addition to this essential series…
Teaching Music through
Performing Marches
Carl Chevallard
Compiled and edited by Richard Miles
Part of the best-selling Teaching Music through
Performance series, this much-needed volume explores
the often overlooked, ignored, and sometimes poorly
played genre of traditional marches.
Insightful chapters filled with the rich knowledge
and experience of a professional military bandsman
and music educator, combined with one-of-a-kind
resource guides to the best marches ever composed,
make this book a must-have for all band directors!
There is a huge diversity to the marches covered
in this book, including the “golden age of bands,”
the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,
and the quicksteps of composers like John Philip
Sousa, Henry Fillmore, Alex F. Lithgow, Fred
Jewell, and others.
Teaching Music through Performing Marches is
divided into two parts, the first written by Carl
Chevallard, author, clinician, and director of the
U.S. Air Force Academy Band. In nine thorough
chapters, Chevallard makes the case that “Marches
are music!” He considers the march horizontally (form, phrasing, meter, rhythm,
and tempo), vertically (interplay of musical elements and musical leadership), and
three-dimensionally (from the audience’s perspective), all helping to reveal a greater
musicality in the art form.
The second half of the book offers complete analysis of 52 of the most significant
marches ever composed, in the best tradition of the Teaching Music series. These
Resource Guides include information about the composer, the composition, historical
background, technical requirements, stylistic considerations, important musical
elements, and suggested references.
A complete compact disc recording of all 52 marches is also available separately,
recorded by Eugene Migliaro Corporon and the North Texas Wind Symphony.
The first of its kind, Teaching Music through Performing Marches is a major
contribution to the field of music education.
