Program notes:

(EN)
A bright and versatile piece, specifically tailored for youth and school bands. The engaging structure alternates a light, rhythmic march with a dreamy melody in triple time, rich in folk flavor.
The instrumentation is designed for maximum flexibility. The piece remains fully effective even with smaller ensembles by omitting the doubled parts. If needed, the lines for Oboe, Clarinet 2, Trumpet 2, and Horn can be treated as optional, while the Timpani part is completely optional. The included Piano (or keyboard) part provides a solid harmonic foundation, ideal for supporting the balance and intonation of young musicians.

(IT)
Un brano brillante e versatile, espressamente concepito per le bande giovanili e scolastiche. La struttura accattivante alterna una marcia leggera e ritmica a una sognante melodia in tempo ternario dall'evocativo sapore popolare. 
L'organico e studiato per garantire la massima flessibilita. Il brano risulta pienamente efficace anche a ranghi ridotti, omettendo le parti raddoppiate. In caso di necessita, le linee strumentali di Oboe, Clarinetto 2, Tromba 2, Corno possono essere rese opzionali mentre i Timpani lo sono assolutamente. La presenza della parte per Pianoforte (o tastiera) offre un solido supporto armonico, ideale per sostenere il bilanciamento e l'intonazione dei giovani musicisti.
