Set of Madrigals published in 1609. These works

 FLORENTINER
MARCH
by Julius Fucik
One
of Pasquina's most popular offerings for brass
quintet.
Fucik's
marches are among some of America's favorite music
for band. In a poll of band conductors, the
Florentiner March, subtitled Grand March Italiana,
was selected as one of the favorites. The length
and content of this piece leads one to believe that
like Sousa with his Free Lance March, Fucik seems
to have tried to condense an operetta into a
march.
