March of the Priests

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

For trumpet and piano

Written in D major, range A3 to D5

In a palm grove the priests of Sarastro’s temple walk in slow procession and take their places, to decide whether Prince Tamino may face their trials. Mozart entered this march in his catalogue together with the overture on 28 September 1791, two days before The Magic Flute opened in Vienna; the piano part is August Horn’s.
