This march contains numerous harmonies which have been associated with the Middle East – at least by late 19th-century composers of music that was meant to sound exotic to Western ears. Like all of Mr. Stolyarov’s compositions, however, this one is strictly harmonious in accordance with classical Western standards. It contains two main themes, with the second theme presented in the middle of the work, surrounded by versions of the first theme. The march is composed for a harpsichord, piano, flute, a brass ensemble, and timpani. Throughout the work, the piano keeps up a steady accompaniment of single eighth notes alternating with two repeated sixteenth notes. The harpsichord carries the main melody, which is also at times picked up by the flute and brass parts. The march was created on the basis of the interaction between massive and powerful chords and rapid passages of sixteenth notes transitioning between them.
