| NOTES FOR THE PERFORMER |
|---|
|
The Marching Episode could serve as the Main Titles for a film
or television series. Its instrumentation requires a large studio orchestra.
The piece starts in March style, with a Swing style bridge. After a transition
there is a middle section in Rock style (solo ad lib for electric guitar,
written-out solo is provided). Then the piece returns to the main theme
in March style.
