Festival Coronation March Tchaikovskys Festival Coronation March was commissioned by the City of Moscow in 1883 for the coronation of Tsar Alexander III and first performed on June 4 of that year. The work contains two quotes of "God Save the Tsar", which were edited out during performances throughout the Communist Soviet era, but are now back in place in order for the low brass section to shine :) Steven Gambles excellent arrangement of this 5 1/2 minute work is appropriate for advanced players. Instrumentation is for standard brass quintet with trumpet parts in B-flat.
