Neukomm’s Marche religieuse
According to the composer’s manuscript remark, this charming work was performed for the fi rst time on 16 October 1822 in Valençay. The original title in Neukomm’s list of works reads: „Marche religieuse pour Orgue et Cor“. It survives today in Vol. 36 of his collected works in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris. The autograph score has the number 209 in Neukomm’sthematic index, and the additional remark: „Ce morceau a été exécuté à la chapelle de l’hospice à Valençay à l’occasion de la distribution des prix“ and the fact that the work was later published in Leipzig.
