1890 Hill organ at Sydney Town Hall, Sydney, Australia
March Forth!
The impulse is inexorable, and it’s not just the organist’s feet that want to move out. Our next Pipedreams program celebrates the ceremonial and the aerobic opportunities of music in the manner of a march. Some pieces have the expected pomp and circumstance, but others are majestic, or joyous, or somber, or even side-splittingly funny. Siamese children, archers, marionettes, three kings, and even penguins get into the act, as we step right out according to rank and file.
Whether stepping out to a little number by Bach, or a grand romp by Sousa or Elgar, we’ll get our legs (and ears) in shape and take advantage of an energy which makes you want to move. Ready? Start with your left left-right organ music for a parade. We March Forth!, this week on Pipedreams.

Given that most national Pipedreams broadcasts occur on Sunday, and considering the date upon which this program is/was likely to be heard, we just couldn’t help ourselves.
