J. Lee Graham Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I was watching an episode of the old documentary series "World At War" a few days ago, and during a montage depicting the British preparations for war prior to the Blitz, the background music consisted of a truly marvelous arrangement of Chopin's "Military" Polonaise as a march for military band! Does anyone (particularly you Brits) know of this arrangement - have you heard it, seen it? - and who might have done it so masterfully and imaginatively? It worked marvelously well!

J. Lee Graham Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Here's a link to the first 16 measures (with repeat) of my arrangement of what I thought I heard: Marche Militaire for Band on "Military" Polonaise Op 40 by Chopin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokkemon Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Is there a link to the documentary available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Lee Graham Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 Wow! It's on YouTube: The polonaise-to-march arrangement starts at about 8:20 into the clip. This is what I was trying to emulate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
