Composed by Pierre Leemans. Arranged by Sjoerd van der Veen. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Chamber, Classical, Contest, Festival, March. 16 pages. Sjoerd van der Veen #745518. Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.1145245).Bring one of the most cheerful, infectious, and famous concert marches in history to your ensemble with this brilliant arrangement of Pierre Leemans’ March of the Belgian Paratroopers (Marche des Parachutistes Belges), masterfully reimagined for Woodwind Quintet by Sjoerd van der Veen.
Composed at the end of World War II, this march is celebrated worldwide for its light-footed, bouncy character, unforgettable whistling tunes, and playful triplet figures.
True to Sjoerd's signature arranging style, the driving rhythmic accompaniment and the joyous, crisp melodies are seamlessly shared across all five instruments rather than relying on a single lead voice. Every player - from the soaring flute to the driving bassoon - gets to shine. This arrangement perfectly translates the symphonic wind band power into an elegant, transparent chamber music setting, making it an absolute showstopper, audience favorite, or high-energy encore for any concert program!
Arrangement Features
Artistic Cuts / Form: Please note that for artistic and musical reasons, this arrangement has been tastefully shortened compared to the full wind band original. To maintain a high level of energy, momentum, and transparency within a chamber music setting, unnecessary structural repetitions have been cut, resulting in a crisp, engaging, and performance-ready concert version.
