POPS ON THE MARCH
──────────────────────────────────────────
Boston Pops Orchestra conducted by John Williams � 1980
──────────────────────────────────────
Made up entirely of marches, this recording by the Boston Pops Orchestra conducted by John Williams Illustrates the variety that is possible whitin the march form. The recording also reflects the format of a Boston Pops concert, which usually begins with a classical section and then comes up to the present with orchestral arrangements of contemporary popular music.
The recording starts with four European marches with imperial connexions. All the other marches are from the United States.
The recording took place at Symphony Hall in Boston in June 1980. At a break during the sessions, I talked with John Williams about marches. As so many of the greatest hits from his movie scores are marches, I asked if the form was congenial to him. He laughed and assured me that John Philip Sousa's laurels are safe. "I do not intend to become another March King." he said. "I have scored a number of movies that I thought needed a smart, celebratory march, so I've written about half a dozen of them."

Williams used the title of this album for the piece he wrote as a tribute to Arthur Fiedler, and "Pops On The March" premiered in 1981. It was recorded ten years later for the CD "I Love A Parade", shared here.
Enjoy.
