After this event, there was a commemorative concert by the Music Unit of the Tercio de Levante, in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, which highlighted a special section dedicated to the “Commemoration of the Battle of Lepantoâ€, within a musical repertoire with pieces of the three armies.
The program began with the interpretation of the pasodoble "The Halberdier" military figure who escorts the kings in the Royal Palace.
A very characteristic piece composed by Guillermo Ruano.
He was followed by two well-known military marches: "Pilots in flight", by Modesto Rebollo, dedicated to the Air Force, and "The Generals," written by José Power, and dedicated to the Army.
They were succeeded by a zarzuela fantasy, a musical genre where the theme and military characters have always been very present.
In this case, the work chosen was "The Farmer of Arles," by maestro Ernesto Rosillo, which included a musical appointment to the popular La Madeleine.
The concert continued with a commemorative musical review of the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571, in which the Catholic fleet, led by Juan de Austria defeated the Turkish.
Therefore, the music unit interpreted the military march "Don Juan de Austria" and later the military suite nº1 "Lepanto" by Francisco Grau, which included the voice of a rapporteur who narrated the battle.
Before the bises, the official program concluded with a polka with two trumpets and band, "Rolipops" that contained the joy and folklore typical of Spanish music and character.
The Music Unit of the Third Marine Corps, based in Cartagena, is made up of 34 musicians, all of them noncommissioned officers and troop personnel, led by officer Jaime Enguidanos.
