Fučík could scarcely have imagined that this single march would make him one of the most-heard composers in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Arranger\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/6750\/1677\/files\/oliver.jpg?v=1777672456\" alt=\"Marc Oliver\" style=\"max-width:180px;margin:0.75em 1.25em 0.75em 0;float:left;\"\u003eMarc Oliver (1952–2017) was the primary arranger and engraver behind Ayotte Custom Musical Engravings during its founding, bringing decades of expertise in brass, band, and ensemble writing to every score.
