Napoleons last Charge..1912..Edwin Ellis & E.T.Paul

This is the third of my three grand marches published/written by E.T.Paull. It's a new and much improved arrangement of the one I did back in 2018. It's a another descriptive march and I've included the narrative on the score. It's a musical representation of Napoleon's final defeat at Waterloo. It's real barnstormer of a march beginning with a bugle call and ending in a grand finale. The piano score was written in Eb but I've arranged it in C as it better fits the banjo. I've arranged a nice bass solo, bars 73/104. In parts, I can detect strains from the Marseilles. The score and midi are in the library and have replaced the original arrangement....Steve.

Thanks Marc, it wasn't all that easy to condense the score down so that it would fit the banjo and it took a few rewrites but I think it was worth the effort....Steve.
