Program Notes
Chambers wrote many cornet solos and almost 90 marches, many of which are considered “some of the finest and most difficult works in the American march repertoire: Revelation March is one of these — a terrific and spirited 6/8 march with variety in style, dynamic contrast, and an infectious listener appeal.
