General Mitchell - Quick March

Robert Browne Hall 1858 - 1907) was a leading composer of marches and other music for brass bands and was a principal American composer of marching music. His music has traveled around the world and many lovers of brass band music mistakenly imagine that Hall was an English composer. 

Hall was famous during his lifetime as a particularly fine player on the Cornet and served for a time as conductor of the Bangor Band. As soloist, conductor, composer and teacher, Hall is still remembered in Maine. The last Saturday in June every year is officially Robert Browne Hall Day in the State of Maine.

By request Geoff Kingston has arranged and edited one of his most popular marches - General Mitchell - for Full Concert Band. This stirring, foot tapping, piece incorporates all the elements that make a successful march - good melody, string rhythmic and harmonic underpinning and the ability to stir the soul. A great work that has stood the test of time.
