Even though this was originally a band piece, I personally like this orchestral transcription better. I think it gives it the feel of a score to an old-timey war movie.

Doesn't sound right with an orchestra... but how impressive!
-
The best performance of this is ever heard was the USAF Band under the direction of Arnald D. Gabriel at the National Band Association Convention in 1980. Wow.

@RedSoxWSAgain You had me until you called the Hindemith Symphony a great band piece :).
-
@B0eing787 I think you misunderstood me. I was referring to the transcription not the piece itself.

This rendition is good but not as good as Fredrick Fennel and the Eastman Wind Ensemble. (That recording was made sometime back in the late fifties and I'm not sure if it is even available anymore.) I have it on a non-stereo LP. Fennel played it a little faster. With the Fennel recording you could really picture Brit. Commandos scampering over a stoney beach in the cold, gray, dawn to blow up a NAZI railroad bridge or something. This band made it sound more like they were on parade. Still OK.

@RedSoxWSAgain, Let me get this straight.... Hindemith is "non-fumbling" while this piece is? No offense to Hindemith, it is a beautiful piece, but I'd say the structure of Commando would make it much less "fumbling" sounding. After all, it is a march. Maybe it's just not your bowl of soup, but your opinion of the piece doesn't make it poorly written.

This is by far the best recording of Commando March on YouTube! Fantastic piece of music.

Unlike Sousa, he actually changes the chords underneath the melody.
