  Bohemian March by František Kmoch
  ca.: 2:50 Min.
  Grade 3
  Arr.: Achim Graf, Peter Welte

  František Kmoch (1848-1912) was a Czech composer and conductor.

  Already at the age of ten he began composing small pieces. In 1868 he studied at the College of Teachers in Prague. In addition to his profession as a teacher, he was a member of various ensembles, trained as a conductor and composed as well.

  In 1868 he became conductor of the Sokol-Blasorchester in Kolín. The Metropolitan Music Society of Kolín also appointed him as conductor. He immediately founded a music school, which was attached to this musical corps. In 1882 this school was officially recognized by the state. Various cities, including Prague, offered him to become the conductor of the respective municipal wind orchestra. But Kmoch preferred to stay in Kolín.

  In response to the military marches of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he wrote marches, deeply rooted in Czech tradition, folklore and folk music. František Kmoch is still today, together with Julius Fučík, as the most popular march composer in his country. His oeuvre contains some 500 works, but most of them are lost. At the beginning of the 1990s surprisingly, and under ample adventurous circumstances, about fifty of the lost original partitions reappeared.
