l Darklands March (March Through the Dark
Forest)Randall Standridge. This somewhat
dark and edgy concert march is written in
minor mode with the militaristic first half of the
march in stark contrast to the lyrical trio. An
expertly-written easy concert march that is
also an excellent work for teaching march
style, dotted eighth/sixteenth note rhythms and
motivic development.
