The Road to Chancellorsville — Grade 2 - Score Only

THE ROAD TO CHANCELLORSVILLE looks back to one of the most pivotal points in history, the American Civil War, in the form of a patrol march. The Battle of Chancellorsville is regarded as Confederate General Robert E. Lee's most brilliant victory, but the cost was so high that the Secessionist forces never really recovered; they were forced to surrender less than two years later. Opening with light percussion and just two piccolos (substitute two flutes if necessary) this bright and easy march builds relentlessly from beginning to end.
