Freischutz Quickstep
Composers:- Grafulla, Claudio S.
- Fry, Tommy J.
Duration: 4
Description:
Spanish immigrant Claudio Grafulla (1810 – 1860), composer of the famous march “Washington Grays”, rose to popular prominence as a composer, arranger, and bandleader during the American Civil War era, an amazing period of development in the history of the American band movement. Much of his music is preserved in the archives of band and government libraries around the country, including the best known band book of the era, “The Port Royal Band Books”, which is where the parts for this piece were obtained and on which this arrangement for modern band are based. As was common at the time, Grafulla “borrowed” his melodic material for this piece from Carl Maria von Webers opera “Der Freishutz”.
