It’s brilliantly scored for a full orchestra by one of the great orchestrators. Why whould you transcribe it to the small confines of a military band? Are you just thinking about the ‘triumphant’ music at the end?
Why whould you transcribe it to the small confines of a military band?The 1812 Overture lends itself very nicely to military concert bands. My unit had 62 musicians, plus an artillery unit joined us at the outdoor concert every Independence Day for the 1812 Overture and played their part with great gusto!
