The MARCH OF THE BLUEBIRDS from Leos Janaček, written in 1924 and published in 1928 was Written in memory of his Choirboy training in Brünn. The piece refers both to the blue uniform of the choirboys, and to the rather vulgar music of the Prussian troops who invaded Brünn in Janaček's youth (1866). Originally composed for piccolo and piano, the adaptation á 4 adds it's own specific charm, and will undoubtedly further the performing chances of this delightful little piece.
