- Program Note from score

Chicago World’s Fair Centennial Celebration 1933 March was written by German-American composer Carl Mader for the “Century of Progress” World’s Fair that was held in Chicago in 1933 and 1934. This march features strong low brass melodies in the first and second strain, a flowing melody in the trio, and technical woodwind flourishes throughout.
