March of the Little Lead Soldiers Gabriel Pierné

March of the Little Lead Soldiers, arranged by Douglas Wagner, is a delightful musical bonbon, from Gabriel Pierné's Album for My Little Friends. The piece presents a refreshing out-of-the-box programming opportunity for any string orchestra concert. This arrangement, which highlights the playful recurring main theme and persistent pizzicato passages, creates an entertaining audience experience, as well as an educational vehicle full of teachable moments.
