Composed by S. Johnson. Arranged by Stuart Johnson. Band Music. Score only. Duration 3:30. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.S11101).

Familiar melody set with all the charm of the early 1800s. A delightful march with a balance between woodwinds and brass. Percussion play traditional march figures. Excellent piece for learning march style.

Radetsky March is probably the most famous piece by Johann Strauss the elder. His other claim to fame was as the father of three sons, all composers, of whom the middle son (also Johann) was to become world famous for his Waltzes and Polkas. Father Strauss (1805-1849) was a fine Viennese violinist and he composed the 'Radetsky' in the year before he died. It caught on immediately and became famous as a symbol of the might of the Habsburg monarchy.
