Boys of the Old Brigade Study Score - Sheet Music

Chambers wrote and published nearly ninety marches as well as several brilliant cornet solos. His band compositions have been called some of the finest and most difficult works in the American march repertoire. Today, he is mainly known for two of his marches, The Chicago Tribune and the present work. Boys of the Old Brigade was written in 1901 but is not related to the Irish Republican song of the same name. At just over 2 minutes long, the piece is a short and spirited quick march, and in this edition Richard Sargeant pays tribute to Chambers' original instrumentation, with extended woodwinds (including 3 clarinets, E-flat clarinet and bassoon), and full brass section with 4 cornets, plus basses, snare drum, cymbals and bass drum. As with Chicago Tribune, the B-flat bass clarinet and SATB saxophones have been added by the editor as they were usually present in bands directed by the composer.
