As I prepare for Brass, Reeds, and Percusion, I audition many band works. From time to time, I come across a march that I haven’t encountered before, but that really excites me. It immediately becomes my new favorite march. And today’s edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion opens with one of those: \“The March of the Olympians,\” written for the opening of the 1960 Olympics. There are two composers: Tommy Walker and Robert Linn. I haven’t been able to locate any information about Tommy Walker, but Robert Linn was the head of the Composition Department at the University of Southern California for 17 years and a prolific composer. Today’s edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion opens with the U.S. Navy Band performing \“The March of the Olympians.\”
