Programme notes: The "Grandioso March" by Giovanni Marchiedo is a musical work with an elegant buoyancy and a southern-Italian style of music-making. The composition is written in six-eighth time, which gives the march a characteristic rhythmic structure and at the same time emphasises a light, dance-like quality. Six-eighth time is a characteristic rhythm often used in dance music. In "Grandioso March", this bar creates an elegant buoyancy and a swinging, slightly dance-like character. The accents on the first and fourth eighth notes emphasise the basic rhythm and add to the energy of the march. The continuous movement of the beat gives the piece a rousing dynamic. The influence of the Southern Italian style of music-making is clearly noticeable in "Grandioso March". This region is known for its passionate and expressive musical tradition. This style manifests itself through melodic phrasing, harmonies and instrumental timbres that are characteristic of Italian music. The use of spirited melodies and emotional expressions help to infuse the piece with a lively atmosphere. The trio is often a contrasting section in a march that can introduce a melodic change and a different mood. In the "Grandioso March", the trio is shaped by a large cantilena, the flugelhorn and the woodwinds. The use of the flugelhorn, a warm and lyrical brass instrument, can bring emotional depth and melody into focus. The woodwind stops, such as clarinets or flutes, can help add subtle texture and tonal colour variety. This section serves as a counterpoint to the lively main theme and gives the piece a multi-layered structure. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI)
