Presidential Polonaise, polonaise for band
Year: 1886
Genre: Other Orchestral

This work was written for President Chester Arthur. Although named for one of the national dances of Poland this music has a pronounced Spanish flavor with bolero-like punctuations underlining the gliding and elegantly ceremonial melodies. There are some chromatically scalar motifs in the coda.
