Programme notes: The term "For strength and honor" is an expression that is often used in military and marching music. It represents power, strength and honor - values traditionally associated with military virtues and national identity. These terms are often used to symbolize the ideals of strength and pride, whether for an army, a nation or a community. The march "For Strength and Honor" for wind orchestra, composed by Josef Vancura, reflects these ideals in its musical performance. Josef Vancura (1888-1960) was a composer and conductor known for his numerous works in the field of wind band and marching music. The march "For Strength and Honor" is one of his best-known compositions and is an outstanding example of the powerful and celebratory tradition of marching music. The march begins with a fanfare that immediately captures the audience's attention. This opening conveys a sense of pride and determination, typical of military marches. The powerful melody is picked up by the various wind instruments in the orchestra and develops into a stirring and dynamic theme. The use of the title "For Strength and Honor" in conjunction with this march indicates the traditional values of bravery, strength and loyalty often celebrated in military music. The music expresses these values through its powerful rhythms, melodic lines and striking harmonies. Vancura's composition is characterized by its clear structure and rousing character. The march is well orchestrated, with the different groups of instruments taking turns in the foreground, creating a dynamic and varied soundscape. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI)
