For Wind Ensemble/Concert Band: The Clari-Fier March

Presenting my newest piece, “The Clari-Fier March!” Based on the melody from the song “Clarinet Polka,” this piece explores the sound and sonic signifiers that are expected to be heard in an American Military March, despite having the melody from such a popular polka- hence the name of the piece. Including quotes from The Stars and Stripes Forever and the US Army Song (or the NC State Fight Song), along with various bugle calls layered into the piece, you will be sure to get the attention of your audience and truly demonstrate the power that music holds- especially a march!
