Additional info/contents	A Bicentennial March - The New Spirit of Seventy-Six "Red Pepper" march received its name from those who heard the piece early on and were attracted to its lively and 'peppy' spirit. Though never before published, "Red Pepper" march is perhaps Mrs. Noblitt’s best known piece, and was among her favorites. Originally composed in 1947 as a piano solo, in 1975, in anticipation of the United States Bicentennial celebration, she composed a second-piano part for two additional players, wrote patriotic words in both two-part and four-part harmony, and subtitled it “A Bicentennial March -- The New Spirit of Seventy-Six". The melodies are so well crafted that they seem very familiar. This arrangement includes short quotations from other Bicentennial favorites - "The Star-Spangled Banner", "Battle Hymn of the Republic", "Dixie", and "Yankee Doodle". Dr. Noble directed its premiere performance in 1976 during a music festival, followed by performances with the 500-member Virginia Bicentennial Band and Marching Chorus in Philadelphia, Washington, Alexandria and other cities. Marsch zur 200-Jahr-Feier der USA - Der neue Geist von '76 Der "Rote Pfeffer"-Marsch erhielt seinen Namen von denen, die das Stück schon früh hörten und von seinem peppigen und pfeffrigen Geist angezogen waren. Obwohl bisher noch nie veröffentlicht ist "Red Pepper" vielleicht das bekannteste Stück der Frau Noblitt und war eines ihrer Lieblingsstücke. Ursprünglich 1947 als Klaviersolo komponiert, komponierte sie im Jahr 1975 in Erwartung des 100-jährigen Bestehens der USA eine zweite Klavierstimme für zwei weitere Spieler, schrieb patriotische Worte in zweistimmiger und vierstimmiger Harmonie und gab es de Untertitel "Marsch zur 200-Jahr-Feier der USA - Der neue Geist von '76". Die Melodien sind so gut geschrieben, dass sie sehr vertraut erscheinen. Diese Arrangement beinhaltet kurze Zitate aus anderen patriotischen amerikanischen Liedern - "The Star-Spangled Banner", "Battle Hymn of the Republik", "Dixie" und "Yankee Doodle". Dr. Noble dirigierte die Uraufführung im Jahr 1976 während eines Musikfestivals, gefolgt von Aufführungen mit dem 500-köpfigen Virginia Bicentennial Band and Marching Chorus in Philadelphia, Washington, Alexandria und weiteren Städten.
