    After hearing the March of Silveri at the recent papl liturgy, I was wondering if anyone knew where to get this as an organ reduction? I've done a little searching but can't find it.

    Ideas?

    I believe (I've not seen a score) that it's not a march but part of a sinfonia by Count Domenico Silveri (1818-1900), in case that assists your research.

    I think Silveri is an enigma, if he existed at all...

    When I type his name, or anything having to do with the piece into Google, I get this post, the NLM, and that's it.

    Ossian & Liam,

    I did some more searching and found a music lending library that has a copy of the Silveri March in a piano reduction. When I receive the score, I will see if I can make it available in some form, perhaps as an arrangement for brass quartet!

    If it can be posted, I would like to see the piano reduction.

    Yes, after I'd posted my note I realized that the original should just go up as well. It's way, way out of copyright (Italian publication from the late 19th c. I believe).

    So -- stay tuned!

    BREAKING NEWS!

    I have managed to secure two keyboard reduction of the Silveri -- one for piano, one for organ. Each is also accompanied by a march.
