La Fiesta March by Prof A. Willhart-
: itz was written last year at the suggestion
of friends who thought that while the ar
fists were doing original work on floats
.and other things there surely ought to be
vSOInetnlnR OF InaU KIM III Jne shape OF an
original composition done in music. The
professor sketched the march. had it
sprinted, and several bands played the
composition during last years festivities.
Not enough attention could be paid to
.ihis work. which, by the way, is very
merited, last year, fol the reason that it
was not thrown on the market before the
second day of the festivities Now, how
fver, the march is on sale at all the mu-
sic stores.
The first part OF the march represents
the joyful feelings of the multitude step
ping off in quick and light measure; the
second is Spanish to the core. The mel
ody has the dreamy character of that
nationality. The third part is mixture
of both the Yankee and the Spanish
music. while the last comes in on that
truly great American composition of
Marching Through Georgia, interspersed
and relieved by "reminiscences of La
.Paloma, the great Spanish work. The
whole work has it's climax in good old
Yankee Doodle, which holds the master
ship over all and everything. Thus, in
short composition, it gives picture of all
that is characteristic in the festivities,
and 1t has been suggested that the gen
cral committee adopt this work as the
official march of La Fiesta.
