Among those band clubs who wanted to have a foreigner as Musical Director, the [[Duke of Edinburgh]] Band club was one of the first. This dream became reality when at the end of 1906, Mro Ġiovanni Giumarra arrived in [[Malta]] from [[Sicily]] to succeed Mro Magri Grech as Maestro. Mro. '''Ġiovanni Giumarra''' was born in Comiso, Sicily, in 1861, son of Vincenzo and Annunziata Baglieri.
Fost dawk il-każini tal-baned li riedu jkollhom barrani bħala Direttur Mużikali, il-każin tal-Banda [[Duke of Edinburgh]] kien wieħed mill-ewwel. Din il-ħolma saret realtà meta fl-aħħar tal-1906, Mro Ġiovanni Giumarra wasal [[Malta]] minn [[Sqallija]] biex jissuċċedi lil Mro Magri Grech bħala Maestro. Mro. Ġiovanni Giumarra twieled f’ [[Comiso]], [[Sqallija]], fl-1861, iben Vincenzo u Annunziata Baglieri.
At 12 years of age he was already in the musical sphere and showing his huge potential. Following a success in an examination, he was appointed substitute director and clarinet soloist with the Sortino Band. A few years later, he was also appointed assistant director and Director of the [[Noto]] Municipal Band. During his tenure as Maestro of this band, great progress was registered to the extent that it was being invited to perform musical programmes throughout the year. Apart of being Musical Director of the Duke of Edinburgh Band, Mro Giumarra was also director of the [[Vilhena Band Club]] of [[Floriana]], [[Soċjeta Filamonika San Ġorġ]] of [[Bormla]] and also [[Soċjeta Filarmonika Leone Band Club]] of [[Victoria]], [[Gozo]] where he remained Maestro for 10 years.


Mro Giumarra was well trained in instrumentalisation of band clubs, and following musical programmes, he always left a good impression, especially in programmes which were directed in the [[Royal Theatre]], [[Manoel Theatre]] and [[Circolo Brittania]]. He left a number of compositions, where it was clear that these were of other level. He used to compose both sacred and also non-sacred music, and most of them were printed and published by a number of music houses.  
Ta' 12-il sena kien diġà fl-isfera mużikali u juri l-potenzjal enormi tiegħu. Wara suċċess f'eżami, inħatar direttur sostitut u solista tal-klarinett mal-Banda Sortino. Ftit snin wara, inħatar ukoll assistent direttur u Direttur tal-Banda Muniċipali ta' [[Noto]]. Matul il-kariga tiegħu bħala Maestro ta'din il-banda, ġie rreġistrat progress kbir sal-punt li kienet qed tiġi mistiedna biex tesegwixxi programmi mużikali matul is-sena kollha. Minbarra li kien Direttur Mużikali tal-Banda Duke of Edinburgh, Mro Giumarra kien ukoll direttur tal-[[Vilhena Band Club]] tal-[[Floriana]], [[Soċjeta Filarmonika San Ġorġ Bormla]] u wkoll [[Soċjetà Filarmonika Leone A.D. 1863]] tar-Rabat, [[Għawdex]] fejn baqa’ Maestro għal 10 snin.


He also composed hundreds of marches, symphonies, intermezzi and other composition which were popularly sought after in Europe and even in the Americas and Africa. In two of his last compositions, Mro. Giumarra showed his passion for Vittoriosa, where he dedicated the Recordare to the leadership of the Parish Church, whilst Ai Caduti del 1565 was dedicated to all Vittoriosa citizens.
Mro Giumarra kien imħarreġ sew fl-istrumentalizzazzjoni tal-każini tal-baned, u wara programmi mużikali, huwa dejjem ħalla impressjoni tajba, speċjalment fi programmi li kienu diretti fit-[[Teatru Rjal]], it-[[Teatru Manoel]] u ċ-[[Circolo Brittania]]. Ħalla numru ta ’kompożizzjonijiet, fejn kien ċar li dawn kienu ta’ livell ieħor. Huwa kien jikkomponi kemm mużika sagra kif ukoll mhux sagra, u ħafna minnhom kienu stampati u ppubblikati minn numru ta ’djar tal-mużika.


His vast successes in international musical competitions in which he participated show that he was a high profile musician, especially with the honours given in such competitions. Two of these, considered as the most prestigious, were a First Grade Diploma and a Silver Medal in [[Palermo]] and in another one in Salerno, he obtained another First Grade Diploma and the Golden Medal. After 29 years in the local band clubs scene, Mro. Giumarra died on Christmas eve of 1936 in [[Ħamrun]].
Huwa kkompona wkoll mijiet ta ’marċi, sinfoniji, intermezzi u kompożizzjoni oħra li kienu mfittxija popolarment fl-Ewropa u anke fl-Ameriki u fl-Afrika. Fi tnejn mill-aħħar kompożizzjonijiet tiegħu, Mro. Giumarra wera l-passjoni tiegħu għall-Birgu, fejn iddedika r-Recordare għat-tmexxija tal-Knisja Parrokkjali, filwaqt li Ai Caduti del 1565 kien iddedikat liċ-ċittadini Vittorjani kollha.
 
Is-suċċessi vasti tiegħu f'kompetizzjonijiet mużikali internazzjonali li fihom ipparteċipa juru li kien mużiċist ta' profil għoli, speċjalment bl-unuri mogħtija f'kompetizzjonijiet bħal dawn. Tnejn minn dawn, meqjusa bħala l-aktar prestiġjużi, kienu Diploma tal-Ewwel Grad u Midalja tal-Fidda f' [[Palermo]] u f'oħra f' [[Salerno]], huwa kiseb Diploma oħra tal-Ewwel Grad u l-Midalja tad-Deheb. Wara 29 sena fix-xena tal-każini tal-baned lokali, Mro. Giumarra miet lejliet il-Milied tal-1936 fil-[[Ħamrun]].

Mro. Ġiovanni Giumarra

Fost dawk il-każini tal-baned li riedu jkollhom barrani bħala Direttur Mużikali, il-każin tal-Banda Duke of Edinburgh kien wieħed mill-ewwel. Din il-ħolma saret realtà meta fl-aħħar tal-1906, Mro Ġiovanni Giumarra wasal Malta minn Sqallija biex jissuċċedi lil Mro Magri Grech bħala Maestro. Mro. Ġiovanni Giumarra twieled f’ Comiso, Sqallija, fl-1861, iben Vincenzo u Annunziata Baglieri.

Ta' 12-il sena kien diġà fl-isfera mużikali u juri l-potenzjal enormi tiegħu. Wara suċċess f'eżami, inħatar direttur sostitut u solista tal-klarinett mal-Banda Sortino. Ftit snin wara, inħatar ukoll assistent direttur u Direttur tal-Banda Muniċipali ta' Noto. Matul il-kariga tiegħu bħala Maestro ta'din il-banda, ġie rreġistrat progress kbir sal-punt li kienet qed tiġi mistiedna biex tesegwixxi programmi mużikali matul is-sena kollha. Minbarra li kien Direttur Mużikali tal-Banda Duke of Edinburgh, Mro Giumarra kien ukoll direttur tal-Vilhena Band Club tal-Floriana, Soċjeta Filarmonika San Ġorġ Bormla u wkoll Soċjetà Filarmonika Leone A.D. 1863 tar-Rabat, Għawdex fejn baqa’ Maestro għal 10 snin.

Mro Giumarra kien imħarreġ sew fl-istrumentalizzazzjoni tal-każini tal-baned, u wara programmi mużikali, huwa dejjem ħalla impressjoni tajba, speċjalment fi programmi li kienu diretti fit-Teatru Rjal, it-Teatru Manoel u ċ-Circolo Brittania. Ħalla numru ta ’kompożizzjonijiet, fejn kien ċar li dawn kienu ta’ livell ieħor. Huwa kien jikkomponi kemm mużika sagra kif ukoll mhux sagra, u ħafna minnhom kienu stampati u ppubblikati minn numru ta ’djar tal-mużika.

Huwa kkompona wkoll mijiet ta ’marċi, sinfoniji, intermezzi u kompożizzjoni oħra li kienu mfittxija popolarment fl-Ewropa u anke fl-Ameriki u fl-Afrika. Fi tnejn mill-aħħar kompożizzjonijiet tiegħu, Mro. Giumarra wera l-passjoni tiegħu għall-Birgu, fejn iddedika r-Recordare għat-tmexxija tal-Knisja Parrokkjali, filwaqt li Ai Caduti del 1565 kien iddedikat liċ-ċittadini Vittorjani kollha.

Is-suċċessi vasti tiegħu f'kompetizzjonijiet mużikali internazzjonali li fihom ipparteċipa juru li kien mużiċist ta' profil għoli, speċjalment bl-unuri mogħtija f'kompetizzjonijiet bħal dawn. Tnejn minn dawn, meqjusa bħala l-aktar prestiġjużi, kienu Diploma tal-Ewwel Grad u Midalja tal-Fidda f' Palermo u f'oħra f' Salerno, huwa kiseb Diploma oħra tal-Ewwel Grad u l-Midalja tad-Deheb. Wara 29 sena fix-xena tal-każini tal-baned lokali, Mro. Giumarra miet lejliet il-Milied tal-1936 fil-Ħamrun.
