Abstract

On January 28, 1878, the young Ruperto Chapí was enjoying a formative stay abroad when he was invited to take part in the retreat events at the Royal Palace on the occasion of the marriage between Alfonso XII and María Mercedes de Orleans. He composed a work of pomp and circumstance under the title Marcha heroica which was performed by the participating military bands. The piece was forgotten and kept in the Biblioteca Nacional de España, where it has been recovered, transcribed, adapted into a modern band and recorded. That is the purpose of this contribution, to serve as an exercise in applied musicology and to highlight the heritage of the historical repertoires of music bands.
