Eiffel Tower Polka

Eiffel Tower Polka comes from the one-act ballet, "The Wedding Party on the Eiffel Tower," with music composed by Francis Poulenc, one of the French composers known as “Les Six”. Arranged for two cornets and concert band by Don Stewart, it is a delightful and light rendering of the traditional polka style delivered in a conversation between the two soloists. (Source: JRO)
