Preußens Gloria Marsch (Orchestral Version)
10Although I had already done a few takes on "Preußens Gloria Marsch" with all percussion instruments, one YouTube user requested I do an orchestral version of the same thing. This is the result of that, and I also experimented with transposing it down to D-flat Major/G-flat Major, instead of E-flat Major/A-flat Major. I've heard versions in both key signature formats, and I'm not sure which I like better.
I also fixed a mistake I had in my percussion instruments; I wrote those in common time (4/4) quarter note equals 200 BPM. Instead, it should be cut time (2/2) with half note equals 100 BPM, since most marches are written in cut time. However, both are technically correct.
To play this version, you need the following instruments:
2 flutes
2 oboes
2 B-flat clarinets
2 bassoons
4 French horns, or Horns in F (1 & 2 top stave, 3 & 4 bottom stave)
2 B-flat trumpets
2 trombones
Tuba
Timpani
Glockenspiel
Snare drum
Bass drum
Cymbals
Harp
2 violins
Viola
Cello (or violincello)
Contrabass (or double bass)
