Program Notes

Marches were originally written to facilitate the orderly movement of military troops. Signals in the music, usually written for the percussion section, functioned as instructions to the troops. Military marches dating as far back as the 15th century often imitated the sounds of battle. Composers of marches gradually expanded the form to include processional music which commemorated an important civic event, such as the arrival of a dignitary or the coronation of a new king. It is in the spirit of this noble tradition that Crown Point March was composed.
