The World’s Most Famous Military March — Arranged for Concert Band by Marc Oliver

Johann Strauss I (1804–1849) composed the Radetzky March, Op. 228, in 1848 in honor of Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky von Radetz, the Austrian military commander. It is one of the most famous and instantly recognizable marches ever written — a bold, exuberant piece whose irresistible main theme has made it a beloved tradition at the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert, where audiences clap along with the music in a ritual that has been repeated for decades. The march’s combination of military swagger and infectious good humor has made it a perennial favorite of concert audiences worldwide.

This edition presents the Radetzky March in a concert band arrangement by Marc Oliver. A guaranteed crowd-pleaser for any concert program.
