John Philip Sousa personified turn-of-the-century America, the comparative innocence and brash energy of a still new nation. His ever touring band represented America across the globe and brought music to hundreds of American towns. Sousa’s compositions earned him the title of “The March King.” The library of Sousa’s Band contained over 10,000 titles. Among them are the numerous band compositions of Sousa including his popular works Semper Fidelis and The National Game included on this disc. The present series, Sousa: Works for Wind Band aims to record the complete works.
