"Alpine Rangers" is a jaunty, tuneful march for
young/developing band that suggests images of a company of travelers hiking
Alpine trails, with musical echoes resounding from snow-capped peaks.
Following a short introduction featuring a "call to attention" by
bugling trumpets at its beginning, the first strain is introduced by
woodwinds, then repeated by high brass/saxes, with echoes from low
brass/reeds. The second strain is presented by low brass/reeds and repeated
with countermelody by upper woodwinds and brass.
Following a forte conclusion to the second strain and an "exclamation
point" in the new key, snare drum sets up a lyrical trio. Intervals of
thirds, sixths, and "horn fifths" suggest the sounds of alphorns
(Alpine horns). The trio is immediately repeated, with no break strain, with
full band taking up the melody and trumpets answering with bugle calls that
echo the rhythmic figure of the first strain.
Consider this delightful, tuneful march for your young/developing band's
concert or contest program.
